Missing peripheral's support in RB?
torne:
Well, we just meant that a more helpful thing to do would be to test with FS#10623 or other patches which are related to accessory support, and to report your findings on the bugtracker for those patches. There *are* people interested in fixing this stuff, and they may not be reading the forums (also they may have already fixed your accessory!). The way you posted it sounded a bit more like a feature request, which are discouraged unless there's something useful to discuss about it...
And no, I'm not afraid to talk about reverse engineering, it's a perfectly legitimate thing to be doing.
AlexP:
Reverse engineering is perfectly legal etc., even in the US believe it or not, and is how a lot of the information needed to write Rockbox was discovered.

No, I did not *request* you to halt what you are doing - and run to your desktop to program some extra features for me right this evening. I beg your pardon if it sounded like that to you - but I really did not mean that. Please forgive my poor English, it isnt my native language. Be sure, I know about principes of free software - and wish to offer some help indeed, but my knowledge of C is equal to ground level. :(
I just post a report about some h/w which is *not* currenttly supported in my case, and will be glad to see it working, oneday. Who knows, maybe direct developers have not such of h/w just to test it - so I can give my hand in that, somehow - as a beta tester or whatever. Who knows.

It might be not my business at all, but how do you deal with this:

I can say you owe me a million dollars for tying your shoes in a license. Doesn't make it so.
Llorean:
The first part "Except as and only to the extent expressly permitted in this License or by applicable law, " is the important part.
