You are taking source from a non-Intel developer under a different license and adding copyright and different license information to it. Because of all of that, I have the requirement that I want to know that Intel legal has vetted all of this and agrees with the conclusions that you all are stating. This isn't a new type of requirement, I make this request to many other companies that do things that are not "normal" when it comes to licenses and copyrights so as to ensure that all is ok. thanks, greg k-h
