Yes, it's only for the Squeezebox/Transporter firmware, which has always been closed.
Regarding SLIMP3's firmware - yes, the source is open, although not "Open Source" as defined by FSF. The SLIMP3 firmware license used in 2001 is very similar to the new Logitech Public Source license, which is being used for the new Jive code base. We like open, and although it was not possible to open the Squeezebox firmware because of some inextricable commercially licensed code, we are actually moving towards MORE open source projects with the introduction of Jive. So I don't know which "suits" you're complaining about. I don't wear one, and I'm the guy who came up with this license strategy some six years ago. Incidentally, the notion that SlimServer could ever be made closed-source by anyone is pretty far fetched. It links in tons of GPL code written by scores of authors - it's just not feasible even if we wanted to, which we most certainly DO NOT. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35503 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
