Oh, sorry, I thought that the OSADL SVN server is the way we should do shared
development?

I can upload a snapshot to our website. Nevertheless, you should ask the
admin team for an account for the svn server.

Before posting something to the public, I'd like to discuss the license
of the code. My suggestion is to use GPL with link exception:

----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------

LINK EXCEPTION
--------------

For all source files required to build the libfddi library, which are
referenced by the term 'these files' in the following section. As a
special exception, if other files instantiate templates or use macros or
inline functions from these files, or you compile these files and link
them with other works to produce a work based on these files, these
files do not by themselves cause the resulting work to be covered by the
GNU General Public License. However the source code for these files must
still be made available in accordance with section (3) of the GNU
General Public License. This exception DOES NOT invalidate any other
reasons why a work based on these files might be covered by the GNU
General Public License.

Mr. Hess, is that variant ok for you?
