Re: [Bayonne-devel] Split off of Bayonne 2 "nonfree" drivers

[David Sugar]

I should clearify.  I mean "nonfree" in the sense they are not "free 
software" because of the licensing encumberances of the Intel-Dialogic 
and Aculab runtime libraries, or much in the way Debian has a "nonfree" 
apt-get repository (and in fact that is also another potential use for 
this split, so that those drivers could also be made available through 
Debian), not in the sense they will only be available for a fee.
