That is just not going to happen.  Not to mention other groups that have older packages as well.  The core of the EULA has not changed and will not change (the legal department has promised us that) so we expect that future EULAs will be in line with the current ones.

Ann, we need to separate two issues here:

 - technical
 - legal

The technical is easy to address and all justifications you and Lauren
gave us are technical. I am concerned the legal ones and this needs to
have a official statement from Freescale explicitly saying it and
taking the responsibility for it.

As I said, please point _in the EULA text_ where all this statements
are written and I am fine with this, otherwise this is a legal flaw..
