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."

  1. Release Source before binary? by nurb432 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Umm where in the GPL that says you have to give out 'work in progress' on demand?

    If they are offering the code that matches their released binaries, id say they are being compliant.

    And yes, i may not have the entire story here, seems your blog site is dead.
