You'd be surprised - the last 30 pages of the manual for my LG Smart TV are the text of the various licenses used in the software in the tv, listed as follows: 153 OPEN SOURCE LICENSE - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - GNU Lesser General Public License - Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL 1.1) - Apache License Version 2.0 - MIT license - Expat license - The FreeType Project LICENSE - JPEG license - OpenSSL License - zlib/libpng License - Portmap license - Pixman license - X.net license - BSD license - RSA Data Security license - JSON license - MS92 license Also I understand Sony TV's run a linux kernel. So, you never know what is inside that Sanyo! But its surely easier to leverage the open software out there than to write a smart tv system from scratch! _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
