Write up a proposal and send it in for a quote. See if Larry is a man of his word and quotes you a fair price for doing the work. Post the proposal and the quote.

Negotiating a true settlement is much better than sending thousand of useless emails that achieve nothing. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
