You are talking nonesense. Please get your facts straight before actually throwing forth what you consider to be the truth in that imaginative little head of yours. Please see http://www.tendra.org/ and everything underneath it in terms of documentation and facts. Furthermore, to quiet some other speculation and such on this topic: TenDRA is BSD Licensed, we're actively working together with some committers to get gcc-dependencies fixed in the source tree (on another note, we also periodically test apps: http://www.tendra.org/~asmodai/compiled-apps.txt). -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(at)wxs.nl> / asmodai / Kita no Mono Ninth Circle Enterprises | WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.tendra.org/ | http://www.anti-dmca.org/ Whenever I associate with someone, may I think myself the lowest among all and hold the other supreme in the depth of my heart...
