Follow-up Comment #6, support #103855 (project administration):
Ah OK, that was easy to change then.
I know that commercial doesn't mean proprietary, but we
explicitly intend that avr-libc can be used in proprietary,
closed-source projects. This is due to the target `market'
of what you're going to do with microcontrollers. If you
develop for these controllers, most of your value is in the
software you write, so we wanted to impose as few restrictions
as possible about the way the people are going to use it.
(Even LGPL is not an option, as reverse-engineering object
code is a simple task given the rather small code that fits
into these devices.)
Feedback shows that this concept appears to work well.
People accept it, both in hobbyist applications (where they
enjoy the low cost, compared to expensive commercial compilers
which we are somehow competing here), as well as in the
industry where people enjoy the source code availability.
We often get more feedback from our userbase than we could
handle. ;-)
As for the old list archive, I'll ask the guy who runs the
current list to send them to you. He needs to take the
existing list server down then in order to ensure the
archives will be complete (so noone can post to the old
lists anymore after the archives have been transferred), so
it would be nice if the new lists can be established rather
quickly then. Where should he send the existing archives
to? As they are raw archives with all email addresses, they
should be handled with some care, and preferrably not appear
somewhere where they can be downloaded from unauthorized
people.
I'll see to find out about the procedure to request a new
project, never did that before. ;-)
