Stop that MPL discussion, I can put that code offline too and update it with some probably nonfunctional code for several devices but it won't help anyone in the end - so I won't do it. I don't want my work to be stolen by linuxtv people in the end. It's too easy to look over the code change a few lines and obfuscure my work, remove the copyright and that's what I'm concerned about. I wouldn't mind about it if it wouldn't happen with that linuxtv community. -Markus _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
