DM 42 Source code updated

[emece67]

My feeling is absolutely different. They couldn't release all the source code because it has non-compatible licenses. Thus, they distributed the GPL parts in source code form and the other parts compiled.

This, IMO, violates the GPL license. They haven't implemented an OS with an API where I (or any other) can write his/her own programs to be run (if so, what is the expected behavior of such 100+ "OS API" functions so I can use any of them?). This is not an OS, but the 29 % of the firmware of a product, as its only function is allow the remaining 71 % to work[*].

For me this is the end of the story. Clearly Swissmicros will not release the full source code of the product and plan to continue selling a product that, I think, violates a software license. Simply, I do not want to buy any more items from such a company, this includes, unfortunately, the future wp43s hardware platform.

I think it's time for me to retire from this discussion before, I hope not, some people feel it turns boring or repetitive or offending and closes it.

Regards.
