AFAIK the opengles-img-sgx development headers (which are in scratchbox) should have those. |

Sarcasm is not an act of stupidity, it actually is a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark.
I didn't detect any sarcasm In your post, it went off the charts with stupidity though. Quote:

We have a strange situation on our hands here in that your the MeeGo build and the CSSU are the Maemo build and as you have already stated you will never bend a rule so it will always be a case of Maemo v MeeGo. The more reason for this Poll. But you keep coming in this thread and pushing MeeGo and never talk about Maemo at all. |

My point is - if there is some legal violation not including headers needed to build SGX xorg driver it could be a start point to contact Nokia asking to release at least what should be released. Not talking about legal actions or so. But once communication channel established it could ease further requests. EDIT: Wil you answer my question re SGX SDK license, please? |

Did you figure that out on your own? I though my statement about your unlimited capacity for incapacity possessed a subtle quality that was only revealed to the most observant of minds, i guess i underestimated you.

I am going to make a formal request here to stskeeps to PLEASE open up his own thread to talk about MeeGo because it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
Please read my opening post on this thread and you will see not one word of MeeGo in that post and as the topic is about the release of Maemo code just what has MeeGo got to do with it?. |

Here are some questions on my behalf. I don't expect you to answer them if the answers can bring you to bad legal situation or financial loss. 1. Is there any complete list of all OSS licenses used among the program (770, 800, 810, 900)? 2. Do you know how some of these licenses were circumvented? 3. Are there any parts of your contract that forbid you to talk about above questions and/or this question? |

SGX SDK license is nasty for Maemo5 (== nokia-binaries EULA). It was first afterwards that you could get redistributable binaries of SGX libraries from TI. Out of curiousity, what did you want to modify? The MeeGo ones are more liberally licensed and if you want to do anything serious. The downside is of course that these need Xorg 1.9.0 and other things for that. |

Circumvented? Please read up on the licensing texts in particular - I think you might have a bit of overinterpretation of how FOSS licenses actually work. Just because there's one GPL component it doesn't mean everything has to be OSS. Nokia's honestly very good at checking these things. Forbid? All this is public information, go look at repository.maemo.org. |

Now please allow topic discussion to take place and get back on topic thankyou.
The count now stands at 559 for and 22 against and i would say up to now that is overwhelming odds for Maemo to be further developed. Thankyou to the Community and please keep the votes coming in. |

Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.
So, this is my last post in this thread as it has turned ridicolous by now.
I'll just summarize what has happened so far: * abill_uk has hinted people to break the law and their contracts to publish code (which was the straw for me). * Several arguments for why this cannot work has been made. * There is no way that the full source code of Maemo5 can be published. Especially because of 3rd party IPR - think Flash, Skype, SGX drivers, etc. This makes the petition useless and it will not help anything. * There has been (also in the past) statements that applications are not going to be open sourced. momcilo, if you have specific questions about components and licensing, I'd like to take that in another thread. But please do your homework on how open source licensing works as I think you have misconceptions. freemangordon, I'd like to help you with your fbdev problem, so feel free to poke me on #meego-arm IRC. |

Also please keep up the work on MeeGo adaption for the N900 and i promise you that if it even gets to the point it is a fully programmable os taking over the Maemo os you will have my 100% backing !. Right now it is not a lot at all and from a developers eyes looking in a little dissapointing so i want you to prove me wrong and get MeeGo up and running as fast as you can, i wish you all the luck in gaining dev's for your project but right now as it stands there is nothing to even touch the Maemo os for the N900. Maemo stands firm in this community as it is after all Maemo.org and the reason for this Poll. |

I am surprised you are still arguing with this "software engineer" who has been through it all. While I do not advocate a ban, I do advocate taking his "peak of stupid" posts and stickying it on top of this forum. Provides a bit of levity to a generally down atmosphere. |

Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.
I would give him the benefit of the doubt as english is a second language to most ppl - and plenty of non english speakers can code just fine :)
His chain of logic is just.... well... i am speechless. I think I will have to go to urban dictionary to find some new adjectives. Seriously - he claims to have been through IP battles in court over reverse engineering issues. With his logic I think he got bulldozed by a lawyer in open court. Sorry, asking someone else to break the law on an open forum for his sake when he is constantly putting down that person.... hahahhahahha Quote:

Shouldn't we start a new petition "PETITION to Stskeeps to release the full source code of whatever-he-is-working-on to this Community." so that we could end the debate here?
|
Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.
Imma start a PETITION for people to start doing things, rather than making more POINTLESS PETITIONS asking people about what they want...
on a relevant note, where do you want to go today? (tm) |
Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.
Holy ****, abill_uk.
Since you're an experienced software/hardware engineer, why not develop your own SGX driver? It's a FSF high-priority project after all, and you can wave your e-pen0r around when you're done. Point is, the Meego N900 DE team are working with software components freely redistributable but don't work with Maemo for various reasons, or components they made themselves/patched up other OSS projects. |

Stskeeps, you may notice that in many ways I share some level of agreement with abill_uk on this topic. As for misconceptions, please note that what I am asking is not the following: N900 (hardware is not of interest) + Meego + closed propriatory bits of nokia + closed propitiatory bits of third parties I am asking for the following: open source hardware drivers for all of the device (770, 800, 810, 900 and maybe future device). Yes you have provided the status of these components for n900, not for the other devices. You have stated we should be safe with closed source drivers, but have you ever had a machine with Broadcom wifi module, and did you ever experience the reliability of a similarly designed blobs? I have, if you didn't you may want to spend some time in exploring how this really works in reality (EDIT: I mean user experience, I am know you are extremely capable guy). In short I simply want fully open platform DEVICE+DRIVERS+OS |
