Re: Results of "downloading compressed program images" request

    trying to apply intellectual property protection to software whose
    proliferation could only increase sales of the hardware, when that
    hardware comes with the software anyway?  It sounds rather foolish to
    me in many instances.  Why not give away the source code?  It is
    useless without the hardware to run it on.

I think you're right--I wish that more embedded developers had this view.
