Yet another flame-war started by Olin. Thanks loads. Please go away?

Or at least learn to use the manners most mothers in your generation taught
their children. There was no need to use the word "dirtbag" in your reply.
You could easily have said:

"Perhaps I'm missing something, but asking someone to provide you with
copyrighted firmware is against the law."



Scott, while I sympathize with your position, the PICList FAQ clearly states
that this is not a good place to ask for copyrighted material, cracked
firmware or the like. Please take up the issue with Olimex directly.



EVERYONE ELSE: This thread is DEAD. Do not post replies, one way or the
other or I will remove you from the list.
