GP2X Linux Handheld Makers Don't Understand GPL

Posted by samzenpus on from the please-release-me dept.

Bjimba writes "Apparently, the developer community is having a lot of trouble convincing the makers of the GP2X Linux handheld to comply with the GPL by releasing source at the same time as binary firmware releases. This link leads to a synopsis of the issue, and yes, it's my own blog, but there's no ads."

      Yeah, thats pretty sad when someone uses Slashdot to get hits on their blog.

      A personal blog isn't a news site people!

      Its also pretty sad when someone uses multiple accounts or their friends to mod down people who point out this fact too.

    Nah, it was always 72. However, there is some doubt on the "virgin" part of it. According to some scholars, the original text says raisins and not virgins. According to another translator, the Quran says that there will be 72 black eyed slaves with exceptionally white irises and nothing about virgins. However, you can have sex with anyone you like in heaven.

    (It doesn't say anything about whether the other party consents though).
