I was not aware that you had an NDA in force with Adaptec.  I don't mean to
seem confrontational, but how do you distinguish what you can release under an
open source license and whether any particular item of knowledge can be used? 
Your contributions have been extremely valuable, but I would be concerned that
your situation could at some point in the future compromise the open source
license of your driver.  Perhaps Justin has some comments that could clarify
this, although as far as I know he has no NDA in force with Adaptec.
