Well, speaking for me: I did not run into any product on the market
that runs this code. I did run into the Openmoko implementation,t
hough, and a *lot* of other software developers did so, too. Even if
they did not study the code, they know it exists, where you can
download it from, and how it works on a real device.

Maybe. But I am not aware of it ever hitting any significant part of
the free software community before.

Please note that I do not claim in any way your code was bad, or that
the Openmoko code is so much better. I did not make any such
comparison. But I insist that the two implementations must be
compared, and it must be checked if there is a way to come up with a
single, compatible implementation.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
