Sure, that makes sense.  Which leads back to my first question: if I can
get some programmer hours dedicated to the task of porting a
BSD-licensed USB stack to RTEMS, and promise to donate back anything we
accomplish (I can put that in writing, if need be), is OAR Corp. willing
to share their partial port to give us a leg up?

Thanks,
