That's a given with the modularity we've already given this beast. <grin>
We should also either adopt or modify the GPL concept so that derivative works
of our work also retain the non-proprietary nature of our efforts.

Only in that my paycheck and business card and ID badge have the Innovation
Ring on them. (Did you know that that's what the circle is called?) WRT my
work product, it is pretty much limited to electronic commerce with the buyers
of our ICs. I do know that the new Lucent Homewire agreement somewhere noted
that they were adhering in many respects to Tut Systems' offerings. We may want to
have a look there. Other than that, my involvement with Lucent's home automation
efforts are limited to cheerleading.
