Who is not guilt, don't raise the hand. Just that this video engine has been so problematic not only for me and the others involved, but also for all sunxi "community". > > > > I know I have been silent, but that's mostly because video is not > > something I am interested in, and especially not Allwinners binary > > take on it.

The video engine is the least priority item in the wish list, but is dependent of all the others. I understand that, and also don't see a point of wasting time in a 100% open source driver and software for it, if the only way to use it requires hardware that is limited by binaries blobs (for example; dram initialization). This is not me going for a full 100% or nothing, just a question of priorities. Did you every see me asking for KMS(or whatever name) driver? You don't because i never asked. Why? Because i don't need to ask. > ... > > So, please, try to limit the corrosive and bitter posts. > And again the discussing went the same path. I like that there are harsh agents, it make the ones that see this "community" as a source of gratis labor think two times. It makes me fell that i am not been abused, and different personalties make the world colorful. But just a personal opinion. Wouldn't be better to talk instead of fighting. Because the way that you (all) are responding to the harshness looks like fighting to me, and again the fighting is obscuring the problem that is the reason of the harshness in the first place. Why not say, "Luc, last commit demonstrated that allwinner is clueless in how to fix this license issues, please stop the stick waving." And this mistakes that allwinner is doing by trying to fix this license issues, is more of a concern (in $business$ matters) than being public shamed about license noncompliance. Anyway today there are good news in the allwinner git repository. -- Manuel Braga -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
