Isn't the whole point of dual BSD/GPL that it makes it possible to make the driver BSD only/GPL only later on? Pure BSD code (w/o advertising clause) can have additional restrictions (GPL or some proprietary licensing terms) added later on by a vendor, so why can't BSD/GPL code be relicensed the same way? If it's polite to relicense the code is a completely different question. On the other hand, if Matthew makes major changes and wants those to become GPL, that's up to him. /Christer Off topic: I've been told that some Irish radio station has had a competition where you were supposed to send in photos of people holding an egg. Can somebody tell me what radio station is that and where I can find the pictures? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
