Every customer has access to all of the GPL sources I build from, but not
my compile time options :)

I really don't intend to show up on gpl-violations.

There are some custom scripts I use to setup boxes but there really is
very little of my own IP involved. Plus anything good is fed back into the
mythtv trac or mailing lists.

For those of you with IVTV based cards we also did a hell of a lot of work
with Hans to stabilise the DMA issues with the cards.
