Well, I'm more concerned about another intercultural aspect. Quoting a company that produces real open source hardware and ordering the same amount of SoCs routinely compared to the Pine64 order:

What most people here forget: The Pine64 is not the first try to use an Allwinner SoC on a SBC: http://linux-sunxi.org/Category:Devices 

And there's also no need to trust vague statements about a shift in mind at Allwinner due to the Pine64 starting to ship in a few months in mass production. This thread about one of the many (L)GPL violations might give a better impression what to expect: http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/pipermail/arm-...10456.html
