Do we need to apply for one? Sorry to follow-up on my own post...but I forgot to add on a question about licensing. I the Linux driver for the Quicknet PhoneJack and LineJack cards are GPL'ed. As a result, our ported driver will likely also be GPL'ed. Would any developers on the list happen to know if there would be a conflict by linking a GPL'ed driver to the FreeBSD kernel?? The point is, that we would like to make our ported driver available to the FreeBSD community if we are successful, and we would like to avoid any conflicts. :) -- Regards, Devin.
