OK, at least the Linux drivers written by Twinhan seem to be publically available now at http://www.usa-x.org/down/index.php But they are using their own API and are not open sourced (only some applications which come with it). Furthermore, a short disassembly and comparison of strings reveals that at least some parts of the driver contain code from BTTV, the Bt8x8 Linux driver. I unpacked the file installci1l20020327.tgz from the DVB-S_Xact/linux directory at www.usa-x.org, unpacked installci/driver.tgz and looked at installci/release/twinhan2.4.7-10.o. E.g., the function handle_chipset() seems to be exactly (except for exchanging some "bttv:"s with "twinhan:") like the same function in a late bttv-0.5.x or early bttv-0.6.x version. I am not certain about the bigphysarea code. Maybe somebody from the V4L mailing list can recognize if it is also lifted from GPLed code. That's why I cross-post this to the V4L list. Ralph
