From: http://www.linux-usb.org/usb-ids.html "The contents of the database and the generated files can be distributed = under the terms of either the GNU General Public License (version 2 or = later) or of the 3-clause BSD License." Do you want me make this list available in our source tree? Steps: 1) Write a script to download it and convert it to our usbdevs*.h files. 2) Match the entries with our own and add usbdevs*_legacy.h for FBSD8 = systems, so recompilation of existing drivers is straightforward. 3) Test. Review. Bikeshed. Rinse. Repeat. 4) Commit.
