not support WinOF released, open-source driver, library, or application. There’s
nothing that prevents a vendor from managing their own patches over what’s
in SVN, but since the patches do not benefit the larger open-source community, the
on-going maintenance, testing, and debug of such code changes belong with the
vendor.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
