Hi.

I have some questions about BlueZ.

Our company is investigating now about BlueZ,
to determine whether it is useful to use in our commercial product, or not.

I searched the archive of BlueZ mailing list about Q&A of BlueZ in commercial use.
I found some threads which are related to such a topic, but I want to know more detail.


Please reply on the following questions.

Q1. development schedule in the future
I saw  "http://www.bluez.org/todo.html"
But there is no information I want to know.
Please tell me the following things.

- eSCO (enhanced SCO) in Bluetooth 1.2
Do you have any plan to develop these?

- Audio/Video related profiles
Do you have any plan to develop these(A2DP, AVRCP)?


Q2. maintenance/support
I found some examples about the support of open-source that
companies which want to use such a open-source software,
pay some maintenance fee to the community or some companies which
provide the service to maintain it, so that
the community or such companies ensure the quality of their software is a certain level.
For example, MySQL, JBoss, etc.
These open-sources are maintained to ensure the quality,
by some kind of organizations which get the maintenance fee.

Does BlueZ allow such a business model?


Q3. version control
Many open-sources are composed of two versions,
one is a "testing version", and another is a "stable version". 
But I think BlueZ has only a "testing version".

Why doesn't BlueZ have a "stable version"?
Do you have any plan to have a "stable version" of BlueZ?


I will appreciate any reply.

Thanks.
Keihachi
