Re: [GATOS]AIW 9000 pro

[Terry S. <tsh...@ro...>]

What exactly does this mean?? The code has been written(to support
composite in).  What exactly is meant by the liscencing of the microcode
mean?? If the liscence is closed source, will this affect the driver??
Or will it being open just mean that it will be easier to develop.  This
code that supports the Composite in, can it be found anywhere??
