Hi, nicholas.

Thanks for your reply again.

Thanks for your advice.
It can't be decided on my own responsibility,
but I will input it to our team members when we will study on this topic.

Thank you very much for this reference of the thread that you have searched.
I also guess he doesn't get enough donation.

OK, thank you.
And please forgive me for asking such a rude question.

Yes, I think so, too.
The problem is whether it is acceptable to ask him to do such a job, or not.
I'm worried that such a business model may be unseemly in the open-source world.
(This is the reason why I ask a question to this mailing-list)

Yes, I understand what you say, because of the reply from you and Marcel.

Why won't you use these features in a commercial device?
(This is only my personal interest.)

Now I understand this part in my mind.
I'm sorry for this confusing question. Please forget this part.
