$$$ krching!! $$$

Bring it on I say if its a GPL compliant request.
I charge $90 per hour of work to download and package the sources
and put onto dvds and send (+p&p + taxes + cost of DVDs + I supply
one sweet FREE as in gratis with every shipment!!)

:)

GPL is free as in freedom not price as you know. Its a license to print
money from thin air if you know how to work it. What you say
applies to the little people who want to shield their code.
I have dim views on intentional abuse of GPL.

Sad baggage that.

That was all yesterday Luke.

I'm in the process of ordering 8Gb uSD cards to out complete self
contained images with sources. May be soon go to 16 GB uSD cards if I
can put a ubuntu 12.04.3 on it with my desktop set up, KiCAD and all
the design files for SoM2, and all the notes, and, and, and..
