In source code repository you also need to explicitly say which license is applied and only after that you're obliged to follow selected license rules. If wiki page related to the project says that the code is "free" or "open" then it doesn't automatically mean that it's GPL-2.0 or any other open license - so you don't have detailed criteria if that project can say that it's "free" or "open" on their own page. We're not talking about license text delivered with gta04, we're talking about home page of project which is trying to attract normal people (who maybe never heard about floss). > Nikolaus denies access to the source files for his hardware.

You cannot download them in format most convenient for you, but that doesn't mean it's not "open hardware" (without any footnote that OHANDA or any other official terminology is used) -- Martin 'JaMa' Jansa jabber: martin.ja...@gmail.com
