Re: Explaining what is the LIC

I think it's probably similar in function to the HAL in windows (Hardware
Abstraction Layer).

Of course now you have the same problem - how do you explain the HAL to
non-geeky types?

Probably easiest to just say "low level system code".

The Licensed Internal Code goes between the hardware and the OS, right?
The purpose being to insulate the OS from the hardware, right?

If I were going to try to explain to some non-geeky type what the LIC is,
how would I describe it?

Firmware?

"all encompassing device driver?"

Neither of those quite get it, I don't think. And I don't think there's an
equivalent "thing" in the Windows world that might help with understanding.

Thanks.
