Could you elaborate on what you think would be your idea exactly=3F I mean, our code is for the grabs anyway, so there must be something you would like in return for investing time in creating a "BeOS-kernel-compatibility" layer into your OS. I guess you would like our support, i.e. help with creating that, and bugfixes if any problems arise in the "generic" layers of OpenBeOS=3F I can't see the hurt in that.... Would the code for the network stack be open-sourced=3F I think that should be required for OpenBeOS..... We want all the code to be open- source for OpenBeOS, otherwise our whole =5Freason=5F for starting this is doomed.... Please elaborate what it is you =5Fprecisely=5F are thinking/talking about..... Regards, Ithamar. PS: My opionion is basicly this: If it doesn't take away too much time of developing our OpenBeOS project, and gets us a really good network stack for free, why not=3F
