Re: Legal issues

Call ATI and talk to them.  Also, have your legal beagle look at their
license, and run from there.  I can't give you legal advice as a layman,
and you should not take lay advice in a decision that could cause you a
lot of heartache in the future.  Flavio's repackaging the binary, but he's
keeping the binary intact, with the implicent consent of ATI, and with a
reiteration of ATI's license.  He's safe there.  What you want to do
needs to be carefully looked at from a legal aspect, preferably with
ATI's involvement.
