<pre wrap="">IMHO, this makes any solution NOT based on FTD2xx unacceptable. People
will not be willing to give up all their other tooling to run OpenOCD,
instead they might find other solutions and stop using OpenOCD. I
haven't read all the mails related to this issue, but this is new
information for me at the moment. I'm not going to repeat my
interpretation of GPL, you'll have to read up one of my other replies
for the details, but looking at all the disadvantages of any other
solution/workaround I really hope we can agree to allow distribution of
FTD2xx based binaries for Windows.

You can easily switch between two drivers. You can use the
FTDI driver together with the other tools you have. You can
use the libusb-win32/WinUSB for OpenOCD.

How do you switch? Something like Start->Setting->Control
Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager->Select
Device->Right Click->Select Update Driver->Run through the
whole wizard...<br>
For historic reasons I use the Luminary flash tool to get images on my
board. Only thing I have to do is shutdown OpenOCD, start the tool,
flash, start OpenOCD again. If I have to go through the whole driver
switch every time I'll go insane...<br>
<br>
Anything else then FTD2xx will make it harder for users to use OpenOCD.<br>
