Hmm,

The driver is released under GPL2 for good reasons, I object to a
re-license under a BSD or any other "free beer" type of license.

In short: NO.

Hi,

I'm not asking about re-licensing the whole driver, I think you misunderstand. 
I'm asking for permission to copy some programming commands so that I can use 
my Yealink under ISDN4BSD. Where did you get the documentation from, in 
between?

--HPS

BTW: I'm not on any of those lists you CC'ed.

Ok there's no problem in using the code as a reference. I only want to
avoid my code being reused in proprietary implementations, as is
possible with BSD licensing.
