Ah, I didn't realize that there _was_ a windows driver for the Itsy -
excellent. Do be very careful: that EULA lists every common Open/Free
license, as a _non-exclusive_ list of examples of what you're not allowed
to derive from. I wouldn't want CRL catching flak from Compaq Corporate.
Coming back to the realm of common sense (which the occasional judge
does, if not the lawyers before them) the license's only rationale
(justification) for not allowing Publically Available software is
potential liability/requiments imposed on MSC. So, if you could get the
itsy driver code put under a BSD/MIT type license, or public domain,
that should finess the issue.
