Yes, well fine. Why don't you initiate a lobby group like OpenBSD does ? They seem to be having success. They might even already have something going on for Broadcom. Alternatively, contact Broadcom and tell them you're not happy. > And I dare to presume that this list is also global > as I don't believe it limits its discussion to American topics or how > technology solely affects the American human condition. No, but it's off topic at this point. And discussing the technical aspects of reverse engineering the Broadcom specs or similar would still be off-topic, as this is the PPC discussion list. [lots of valid but ultimately off-topic comments deleted]. Cheers, Phil
