HW Acceleration Working
(10-04-2016, 05:02 PM)MarkHaysHarris777 Wrote: The bottom line is that the mali blobs and drm integrated kernel cannot be packaged together and distributed without violating the GPL license; something which developers like longsleep (Simon) and lennyraposo (Lenny) are not willing to do ( nor myself either, for that matter , as well as most other developers in the FOSS movement ).

This is further complicated by the fact that some of the original developers are bound by NDA(s) and cannot discuss their work nor release their full documentation;  sound familiar ?

No FOSS developer in their right mind would package / distribute the mali binaries unless the source code is available and redistributable (as to do otherwise is a breach of the GPL). And they can't distribute the source code if it is protected by a NDA or restrictive distribution license (unless they wanted to be sued). It is as simple as that. However, what does confuse me, is if we are talking about the files that were made available on the pine64 wiki, as I have flicked through half a dozen of the source files and archive packages, is that most are either GPL licensed code or texas instruments freely distributable code. So is it "merely" a question of a license for the contents of "lib_x11_r6p0.tar.bz2" that is an issue? Thus meaning unless the source is made available for the binaries in that file, no GPL compliant/derived distribution can use it.  Dodgy

You have to love IP protections... and the sharks that insist that nothing would be developed without them... how little do they know!  Cool
