It's the wrt54g subject again... I'm mirroring the Sveasoft-firmware, which was published under the terms of "GPL". At least Sveasoft said that. Of course, many drivers are closed. And others look like this: * This is UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY SOURCE CODE of Broadcom Corporation; Since those drivers are kept outside the kernel-tree it might be allright with the GPL. Now, wind changed quite a bit: Sveasoft wants money for their firmware. (It's ok with me.) Sveasoft actually sells the code. You only get a copy if you are a registered, paying Sveasoft-user. This also covers the GPL-part. This site http://www.linksys.com/support/gpl.asp also implies, that i can redistribute those drivers and firmwares. But it is the same problem with them. Those wrt54g-firmwares also contain non-GPL sourcecodes and binaries. Sveasoft is hunting down mirrorsites right now. Of course, they want to earn some money. So i'm not sure what I should do next?! Going down or asking for the rest of the code? Bis denne, Aiko --=20 .~.
