Someone please tell me I'm wrong. :( Great, it's good to know that no matter how much I contribute to the Linux community I will be written off if I ever release a Linux based product with one line of proprietary code in it. Anyway if the people who wrote Linux didn't want vendors to be able to use it as a base for their proprietary software offerings I'm pretty sure they would have chosen a different license. If they modify the *kernel* to improve the latency they'd have to make that code open. As far as I'm concerned, the system works. Lee
