i'm not sure why you're referencing this, josh - it
I'm sure, and there is some evidence that Olimex puts pressure as it is on Allwinner to release their code and stop ignoring GPL licensing conditions.
you'll need to be more specific.
You say Olimex made a GPL-violation and then basically made the fool of you 'in-front of 20,000 people', but they seem otherwise. [1]
you'll need to reference archive.org to find the conversation. tsvetan's disdain is very very clear. and he also, just as clearly, doesn't actually answer the question.
According to them, you were complaining that they hadn't released the source early enough, because they hadn't written a tutorial of how to build as soon as they released the images.
i don't believe it (but i could be wrong - i often am). allwinner hadn't actually released the source of the proprietary boot0 bootloader back then, and things were a total mess. i've yet to reply but paul might actually be right about git.rhombus-tech.net because it might contain (for example) libnand. i *think* on review of the code i did go "i ain't frickin well putting *that* in the git repo" but i'll have to double-check. it was a long time ago.
Though I guess it is unclear as to what actually happened back then. (lists.gpl-violations.org is down).
it's permanently offline after the server was hacked. it won't be restored.
Either way, it doesn't really matter much, I appreciate what you're doing, making another libre computer, and for that I am grateful. I'm also pleased you posted the schematics and pcb files as you said you would.
various parts already were - have been for many years.
