OpenPCI now under GPL license

Its a shame we cant have Mediator support in this version. Elbox doesnt seem to care about getting more hardware support out and only cares about selling the busboards.

So in reading this I have to assume that this will only be useful for any new hardware since none of the currently compatible PCI busboards are available any longer. That is a real shame. I am an Elbox Mediator owner and would love an alternative source for PCI drivers. A great example of 3rd party support for Mediator was the Ultra SCSI cards that got supported and now the Sonnet PPC cards. Sadly both are also no longer manufactured and very limited.

So you are forking openPCI? I don't see how this is helpful to the community at all. It will only introduce confusion and break users systems when they think they are installing an update and didn't read the docs, as most don't when installing new software from my experiences.

Saving the code is a good thing, I didn't realize the original OpenPCI wasn't being maintained any longer. Doesn't anyone on the MorphOS and AROS teams do development on it? I thought both were using it as the solution for PCI card expansion.
