They haven't supplied any Linux binaries only RedBoot. I am waiting to
find out exactly what's on either of their CDs so perhaps its best to
hold fire until then when I can ask more directly if they are prepared
to release the eCos/Redboot source tree code. At the end of the day as
Gary says it's you guys that hold the copyright and have put the work in
so it depends if you want it enforced or not.
At the end of the day, it absolutely will be enforced.
I will buy the CD if
necessary as the money is coming from my university department and not
my own pocket. They are selling what seems to be a good product and I
don't want to antagonize them too much.
You really should not need to buy the CD for the RedBoot code unless it
contains other things you want.
