This looks exceedingly cool!! I see one problem, though. The driver contains one file (of microcode) which is copyright by Visiontech, and there doesn't seem to be any license allowing its use. Without the rights to use the microcode, we can't use the driver, right? How will licensing be handled? I would think that Visiontech would, at a minimum, grant a right to use the microcode to anyone that buys the board. --Mike
