Creative Labs has released a proprietary driver base for their XFi cards. I downloaded it because it claims to have compatibility with alsa. In fact, it requires alsa include files to be able to compile. I haven't looked at the source yet (this information is all in the Readme.txt in the main download) and probably won't (especially since I don't own a Creative Labs XFi card). What I don't understand, is are they allowed to use our code to build their drivers? They use alsa core modules to interoperate (from what I can tell in the Readme.txt). Also, this line in the License.txt is especially troubling: > In the event that the Software includes Linux code or drivers, then, unless expressly stated to the contrary, such Linux > code and drivers are proprietary to Creative and all rights therein are reserved. I'm deleting all but the big tarball I downloaded. I'll delete it later. -- Tobin Davis <tdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
