I ought to have pointed out that this applies to _any_ GPL'd driver for the 
Disk-On-Chip and NFTL, regardless of whether it's produced by M-Systems, with 
M-Systems' specifications, or by reverse-engineering.

If we accept the premise that the patents prevent the code from being released 
under GPL, then what are we playing at in the first place?
