Xaver Zu xaver1zu at gmail.comI use it in a laboratory with 1-2 clients. It's about backing up that job when I've already invested time. It seems that the master branch is impossible for this. I have it in a private fork. Is it possible in its current form to have it in any branch? Can it at least stay in the gerrit? Basically the main problem is that I link with the libsdr.so library but I can't publish the source codes. I don't have them. Could I solve this with an open source (GPL) reimplementation of that library? pá 11. 9. 2020 v 19:07 odesílatel Mychaela Falconia < mychaela.falconia at gmail.com> napsal: > Let me see if I understand the PCIeSDR proprietary libsdr.so situation > correctly.
