Of course it is flawed after you misstate it!
"open source" and an "open" interface specifcation are not the same
thing. "open source" has a defined meaning if you look here:
   http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php
That, of course, has rather little to do with RDI!

Anyway, I think that I should just give in to you "open-equals-free"
guys and give it a rest.

The next time you come to a store with an "OPEN" sugn in the window
please consider it all right to take all you want from the store since
it is "free".

The whole point that I really wanted make before the
"open-equals-free" group jumprd in is that RDI support is an important
part of any pretension to support for ARM micros. It is not necessary,
but it is a more serious consideration than an IDE's eye candy.
