You can have one API yet different implementations, like in the case of libusb-0.1 and libusb-win32. You can also say that FreeBSD 8/9 has a libusb-1.0 and libusb-0.1 compatible API implementation. In the case of FreeBSD, it is rather due to licensing issues. In the current situation, I do not think people are not contributing, but rather contributors are frustrated at the slow process. You can convince people more effectively by merging one patch than writing 300 lines of email arguing for your points... -- Xiaofan |
