I'm insulting you, but you guys are not mean by taking it widely public. No private mail received anyone. > Plus, I think the mail was sent to the specific people for this > issue. Would you please tell me who is not "specific" here? How about we start with the following people, who do not seem like the specific people to mail. Martin Langer Danny van Dyk Andreas Jaggi Larry Finger Quaker.Fang@sun.com Johannes Berg Joseph Jezak John Linville Greg kh bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org license-violation@gpl-violations.org If Marcus Glocker just gives up now, and aborts his efforts, I would not be surprised. I'd be a bit dissapointed but then it is just the increasingly rare Broadcom chipset. If he quit, I would understand his position completely, based on the first contact with him about this issue BEING A PUBLIC DRAG THROUGH THE MUD BY YOU GUYS. This infighting between two teams trying to support the same chipset is a complete mockery of the publicness of the original reverse engineering effort. My guess is that Michael is thinking very carefully about whether starting the discussion in public was the right thing to do, but I am very sure that Stefano jumping in to lob a second volley of mud helps noone's cause, especially Michael's cause. Stefano, if you want this resolved nicely, I suggest you think before you send more mail. > Maintaining whitespace and variable names. Copyrighted whitespaces and variable names, you mean, right?
