Carsten i was not talking about the official route ! try to read in between the lines, as you said certain things cannot be discussed.

@ Stskeeps - BTW did you ever try to build SGX xorg driver for n900? The 'open' one which source is in repos. Try it someday when you have some spare time.

Someone here was asking about GPL violations.

There's no way but the official route. Are you asking me to breach my contract and do criminal activities, opening myself to civil suit for damages and criminal prosecution?

Are you stupid?

Yes, in fact I sort-of maintain it in MeeGo, and xorg driver is MIT/X11 licensing, so GPL licensing doesn't really apply.

Yes lets all do illegal things and there will be no consequences whatsoever!

Grow up.

I'll also note for the benefit of the sensible folk that FSF are looking for developers to reverse engineer the SGX driver and get some gallium3d niceness. So far noone has come forward.

@Stskeeps - Do not have time to dig into licenses now, will do it when I have time. Anyway, will you share the result of your build? I mean was it successful?

In addition to that, anyone using anything or distributing anything that was released in illegal manner will be liable to prosecution and suit as well. This is not the way to do it.

Just look at the Windows 2000 source code release that happened some years back. If you even looked at it, you would be not be suitable for touching a lot of code, unable to contribute to ReactOS, etc.

If memory doesn't fail me, I did a successful build of it for the Beagleboard port, but that was before my harddisk crash so I don't have the binary around.

I've thrown out Scratchbox from my machine, so I can't do it right now.

MIT and its derivatives are permissive and GPL-compatible. They are allowed to mix with proprietary code and also allowed to mix with GPL code.

OK, to be clear - there is no way SGX driver to be build in scratchbox using source from repository. There are several header files missing and nowhere to be found(at least legally). Like pvr2d.h and such. The same ones stskeeps is maintaining for DE, just an older version. And what drives me crasy is that it seems there is a SGX driver fork made especially for Nokia, as from year now TI Graphics SDK is free to be downloaded. But it is usless for n900.

@stskeeps - are you allowed to share under which license n900 SGX SDK is distributed, and if you are will you share it(I mean the license)?
