I'm not a dvb developer. Please work it with the guys who maintain that
code.
Yes, that would be the "ideal" solution to work that out, sure!
And I deeply wished that this would be as easy as that. But it unfortunatley
isn't! And that is the pain!
But the one who maintains that stuff (Manu Abraham) seems to regard the dst
driver as his only one property, i. e. in his personal rules system the open
source philosophy seems to be abolished, like in a small virtual kingdom, you
know! In fact he seems to have nothing in his mind except industrial
interests. Anything else around this is just rubbish and bullshit for his
deep reactionary policy, i. e. users needs do not exist for him at all.
Fact is, he is only ONE copyright owner. Plus: In a private mail he wrote me
that "he does hate people adding their copyright to code that he ever
touched".
Guys, it's GPL code. Fork the project and stop your bitching.
If you do a better job, people will use and contribute to your version.
If you do a worse job, people will use and contribute to Manu's.
Some will use and contribute to both. Life's good, eh?
Regards,
Bill
