Don't think I saw this mentioned on list:

"Forum member Honken released an open source USB firmware for PIC microcont=
rollers. This is a major open source contribution, congratulations!

Most PIC 18F2550 and 18F4550 USB projects you see on the web use the Microc=
hip USB source code. It=92s easy to use and free. There=92s one big problem=
: Microchip uses a license that isn=92t open source compatible. Distributin=
g the USB source with a project is against the rules.

Until now, we=92ve relied on Microchip=92s non-distributable driver in proj=
ects like the USB IR Toy and Logic Sniffer. We release our source code, but=
 you have to download the USB driver from Microchip yourself. This is a pai=
n, especially for beginners who aren=92t familiar with compilers and build =
configurations.

Over the last few days we=92ve tested the Honken USB firmware on several di=
fferent PIC18F microcontrollers.  The latest version is available in SVN an=
d the forum.

Our current goal is to get it running on the PIC 24FJ used in the Bus Pirat=
e v4. We can begin volume manufacturing of the new Bus Pirate as soon as th=
e driver is in place.  Can you help? Please join us in the forum."
