# amifldrv source code
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the source code for the `amifldrv` kernel module used by the AMI
|
||||||
|
Aptios flashing tool for linux, `afulnx`. This is associated with the
|
||||||
|
_64-Bit_ version of the tool, and I _cannot_ guarantee that it will work
|
||||||
|
with the _32-Bit_ version.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This source code has been _modified_ so that it will compile and work (I
|
||||||
|
tested this by flashing with it (!)) on recent versions of Linux. This was
|
||||||
|
tested with and functioned on Linux 4.1.

# License issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
AMI _did not_ specify a license for this code in `readme.txt`,
|
||||||
|
`readme_afulnx.txt` or any other file, including the source code.
|
||||||
|
Furthermore, Linux kernel modules can be considered derivitave works of
|
||||||
|
the Linux kernel, which is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
|
||||||
|
The GPL _mandates_ that source code be made available. AMI appear to have
|
||||||
|
gone out of their way to make obtaining the _full_ module source rather
|
||||||
|
obfuse, as the tool that emits it will delete it immediately after
|
||||||
|
exiting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I do not claim any ownership of this code.
