That part of RTAI which uses the patented process is GPLed. Other parts, which don't, are LGPL. Don't spread vague assumptions - tell us where you think to have found a license violation or be quiet. It's not very helpful to tell things in public which are simply not true. > Show me where I've done anything worth apologizing for and I'll consider > it. You blame the RTAI developers for license violations without any proof. Robert -- +--------------------------------------------------------+ | Dipl.-Ing.
