Re: [Libusb-win32-devel] Provide a commercial (non-GPL) license

[Андрій О. <ost...@gm...>]

Dear libusb team,
Let me clarify – I am using unmodified libusb0.sys driver, however I do
sign the driver package with my own cert, using my own installer with a
custom .inf.
I would appreciate if you could confirm that this does not force me to
disclose my app source code, provided of course that I clearly state the
usage of libusb-win32 with the link to its repository
