hi,
thanks Jeff! it seems that a co that would change the
hardware to deter development with the exception of their own os. as a
planned move to prevent innovation by others should expect people to find
more acceptable route. since a traceroute of the from co in taiwan would
allow many to access the hardware without monopoly occuring this is
very acceptable IMHO. my co would love to distribute but the amount
of volume required 'most likely' will deter this.. Seems like this is a very
good solution for all open source oses. From experience in Linux since i
am fascinated with picoBSD but have yet get it to usable quality
for my co use. admittedly i am new to pico so this is no surprise ..
but do use OpenBSD so not entirely lost. oh well my plan was to
evaluate in the co lab. but until i can get a reliable open sourceable
supply am hooped. really do not consider the co that originally sold
this with their services a open co since their move. apparently they are
reconsidering so you never know but still if it is done once it could
just as easily occur again. Solution? go direct to the manufacturer
and buy enough units to make it worthwhile for them. then it remains
open as their is a business case for them.
Best Regards,
