Hello,
I wonder if I can get an answer about the use of some files released under
linux dvb V1.0.0.
The files in question are the ones located in the "driver" subdirectory.
Files such
dvb_frontend.c and dvb_frontend.h.
The Linux DVB API document does not include any description of using these
files.
Could you please provide some feedback about this question as I have got
the impression that these files
are as "optional layer" to support some hardware platform?
All files that are linked into dvb-core.o (these are the files in
DVB/driver/ or dvb-kernel/linux/media/dvb/dvb-core/) are distributed
under the terms of the GNU General Public License since they can get
linked statically into the Linux kernel. This license policy was choosen
in order to make improvements in the generic code useful for everybody.
