We've hit many major trade offs to strong copyleft. Please understand I think the GPLv3 best fulfils my intentions. If someone needs a disclaimer or exception to test against ippusbxd please contact me. Daniel PS: I also hope Android and ChromeOS will have IPP over USB support. If anyone is interested in that or knows anything about it please do contact me. 2014-06-25 19:59 GMT-06:00 Michael Sweet : > Daniel, > > On Jun 25, 2014, at 5:14 PM, Daniel Dressler = wrote: >> Thank you Ira, and thank you for the support you have given me and >> ippusbxd in the past. >> >> Do you know of any printer vendors or OS interested in using ippusbxd? >> I must admit I only expected ippusbxd to be used by the open source >> distributions.
