Official GP2X SDK Released

gizmateer writes "According to Gizmos for Geeks, GamePark Holdings, Inc. has officially released the GP2X SDK. The GP2X source is available for Windows and Linux developers on the GP2X site. If you need more library source, GPH provides the contact dev@gp2x.com and GPH will provide it on the developers' forum. GPH mentions that you can get most of the library from the Internet, as Dev-C++ for GP2X was coded with the source code which is already opened on the Internet. The GP2X makers have gone a long way since being accused of not understanding the GPL."

They outsourced the Linux development to another company, and then that idiot company did stupid things like mix in proprietary SD card drivers right in. So now they're stuck between the proprietary people saying they can't release it, and the free software people saying they have to, and they're trying to figure out how to seperate the two and make us all happy.

It sucks. And I don't know if they'll ever be able to make anyone happy. But they're trying, and what they need is our help and support, not our bitching. Bitching won't help them figure out what the fuck they're doing. Bitching will make them hate the Linux community and do whatever they can to get away from us. But if they get enough help and support from us, then it'll be easier for them to get out the source, they'll be more likely to want to get out the source, we'll get it faster, and in the future they'll be more likely to put out (compliant) GPLed products in the future.

I don't want us to be doormats and let them get away with whatever, but I don't want us to be viewed as psycho attack dogs that everyone stays away from. Let's save the meanness and the bitching for those that don't try, and help those that do try.
