  Doesn't make it ok. But dang hate to see Tesla on there :(

  Having a somehow famous name does not make a deplorable action magically virtuous.

    OP made no moral claim, just stated unreferenced facts.

      Nothing is so black and white. If you point out that others are engaging in bad behaviour, then it makes that bad behaviour look less bad.
      • rhizome 10y ago
        That depends entirely on the ethics of the looker, but are you really saying that people would engage in fewer acts of bad behavior if other people didn't point them out when they did?
      • dumb-saint 10y ago
        What do you mean with the "nothing is so black and white" cliché in this context? The psychological reaction of onlookers has nothing to do with an action being ethical or not.
      • ssalazar 10y ago
        I had the opposite reaction, that the poster was implying the HN zeitgeist should be raking these companies over the coals also.

  You jealous of Elon, right?

  Can you provide a reference to how eero is violating the GPL? A quick search did not reveal anything, and they have a page on their website that suggests they meet their obligations under it.
  • madeofpalk 10y ago
    Just for reference's sake, here's their page https://eero.com/legal/open https://eero.com/legal/open with the money quote You may also request a copy of the source by e-mailing legal@eero.com with "Source for eero device" in the subject line. Note, GPL doesn't mandate code be put up on GitHub. It only requires that its reasonably available.

      I contacted them, and they failed to provide source code in a timely manner -- or you know, respond.
• kwindla 10y ago
  Do you have Pluot? Happy to send you firmware source.
  • sargun 10y ago
    We demoed a device at work, and tried to get source. This was a little while ago.
