The remaining item is a shrink-wrap package so people can use these libraries legally and I'll poke them about it today.

TI has been cooperative in the port of these drivers to N8x0, so I think it's a bit unjustified to think they should 'feel shameful' as they have been forthcoming in delivering sources and libraries from their side.
I'm still not sure what you mean. On the one hand, you're telling me that they want to provide more than 'just' a hacker curiosity? What's the difference between that and an actual open architecture with usefulness? Last time I checked, the way to make a library legal to use.. is to document it and give permission for it to be used. What's the hold-up after all this time? I stand by my admonishment of TI until I see a tangible difference.
