For those interested in Free Software eBook Reader, I wanted to share
the following information:
"InLibroVeritas, the famous francophone free publisher (publishing
particularly framabook books) offers to sell an electronic book reader.
The 'e-Reader InLibroVeritas Opus', manufactured by french company
Bookeen, is based on electronic ink technology, that is found
especially among its competitor the Amazon Kindle.
However, the e-Reader InLibroVeritas Opus stands out not only for its
portability (with the standard USB mass storage, thus compatible with
Microsoft, Mac, [GNU/]Linux and others), but also by its lack of DRM
and its free [GNU/]Linux-based firmware . This reader, corresponding
to the ideal of free culture has been naturally selected by the ILV
publisher. The founder of ILV, Mathieu Pasquini, explains why they
have thus made "the choice of supporting two French companies that
have clearly opted for an open future, free software technology, free
arts, going against the tide of global majors"."
Translated approximately from french page at
http://linuxfr.org/2010/05/08/26828.html.
I browsed licenses in the source code and all is under GPLv2 or GPLv2+ ;)
