*bump*
the license agreement
http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.4/tags/7.4.2/server/License.txt
states
Code:
--------------------
Squeezebox firmare may not be redistributed under any
circumstances. It is (c) Slim Devices, and additonally contains
code which is (c) Ubicom. Ubicom's code is licenced to us only
for direct distribution in binary form. You may use the firmware
only on hardware manufactured by Slim Devices.
--------------------
I think this is about the files in
http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.4/tags/7.4.2/server/Firmware/
(so all "older" SB-Devices).
So the question is, if it is allowed to:
* make a custom SB-Server Package (or system image) including the
Firmware. Downloadable free of charge, maybe integrated in a repository
(apt, yum)
* make a package without the firmware, but automaticly download and
install the firmware from svn.slimdevices on first start
* make a package without the firmware, inform the user about the
license, then automaticly download the firmware from svn.slimdevices.
* automaticly download an official package from slimdevices on first
start
i would welcome an offical statement and a reason why redistribution is
not allowed. I guess the firmware contains/used licensed code (mp3
decoder, fpga compiler, ip stack, ...) that is not allowed for
redistribution, but i can only guess.
