Please don't try to spread your non-GPL tree and userland rhetoric on the list as it's not welcome. This mailing list is dedicated the v4l-dvb GPL source code trees and associated applications. As far as I'm concerned your opinion is not welcome. Please keep all conversation related to promoting and developing the main repositories please. Peter, Devin is correct. If a vendor will not provide a driver then vote with your pocket and buy another product. If you do anything else you're not helping the rest of the community. I (occasionally) speak on behalf of a vendor. - Steve
