Re: [Spca50x-devs] Spca5xx driver need to change for July :) USPCA-V2 versus GWLD1 that is the Question ?

[Ulisses Penna <ulissespenna@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Follows my 3 cents:

USPWCA - Universal Software Plugable (?) for Web
Camera Adaptor
MxSWCA - Maximum Software for Web Camera Adaptor
(reminds MXhaard  ;))
SPWCA - Software Pack for Web Camera Adaptor

   The key here is to find a meaning for the "P"
letter ... and, I think, introducing a "W" for the Web
word.

Regards.
