I could not find the CDC-ACM inf template from Microsoft website now but I clearly remember I saw it somewhere. Other companies does not really put Copyrights on the inf file for usbser.sys, for example, look at the following file from ST. http://www.st.com/stonline/books/pdf/docs/12571.pdf (page 5). Another example (old format). http://www.lvr.com/files/usbcomport.txt So it is probably okay to drop the copyright line. On the other hand, even if there is the copyright line from Microsoft, I think you can still redistribute it. But I am not a lawyer but a hardware engineer. ;-) -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
