(no problem, we're used to read frankenstein-offspring code;)

we just commit'd an updated version of ttusb driver to the dvb-kernel 
source tree, please take a look if this is of any help for you...

I can only speak for me -- I don't care about my name in your code, just 
handle this like you want to do

no problem, send it off-list to me and the interested persons. If you 
post an additional link to your homepage, great!

In any case I'd like to get your code into CVS as soon it does something 
useful, maybe in an extra branch like the 'experimental-pinnacle' one...

It's usual to include binary firmwares in the driver code, I would 
handle this here the same way.

just ask if you have any questions,
