The driver source is linked at the bottom of the Software section of Motorola's M5272C3 Product Summary Page at: http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=M5272C3& parentCode=MCF5272&releaseLevel=null&nodeId=01M9 (Sorry for the long URL). It's labeled "USBUCLINUXSW - M5272C3 uClinux kernel with the USB software incorporated. Includes USB source and uClinux object code." https://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/Download?colCode=USBUCLINUXSW&prodCode =M5272C3&nodeId=01M9&appType=license&location=psp Here's the whitepaper describing the driver: http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/USB%20UCLINUX%20DRIVER_V03.pdf It seems as though they've put a click-wrap license and registration to restrict access the USB driver source in the past few weeks. A few weeks ago, I was able to download the source _without_ agreeing to their "Extranet Agreement" (i.e. Confidentiality Agreement) and I haven't agreed to it yet. Here is their license boilerplate at the top of each of the source files: /********************************************************************* * * Copyright: * MOTOROLA, INC.

But as for inclusion into the uClinux tree, who knows?

I can answer the last couple of questions :-) I didn't know Motorola where doing any USB support for uClinux until I saw this mail thread a couple of days ago. But I have had a look at it, and it looks very good. I haven't found the source code yet (does anyone have a URL to it?). So I don't know what license it is. If it is compatible I will certainly be adding the the CVS and distribution.
