You made a drama out of a simple issue. We have been so stupid to follow you. So, what's driving you crazy right now, sorted by relevance: 1) we went public; 2) we don't believe that Marcus copied code by mistake; 3) we are inhuman and we lack empathy. About the third one, we can't do anything. Coding bcm43xx made us inhuman. Plus, we are engineers or even worse species. We even use GPL. Really sorry about that. Now, about the first and second ones. Would telling you you are right help you to stop whining and let people focus on the real issue? In case, I would promptly tell you that you are right and we are wrong. -- Ciao Stefano
