Since Fuscia is a new kernel, that means it will probably only support Google hardware.
The status quo right now among android hardware vendors is to violate the GPL, and they have faced few if any repercussions for doing so. I wonder if Fuscia is sort of viewed as the way forward to addressing that.
Anyone care to speculate why there isn't a community version of chromium os? I'd donate to it for sure. It sounds like getting android apps working on it would be pretty easy: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/?hl=en#!topic/chromium-os-discuss/OfBln-hl7ug https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/?hl=en#!topic...
- jakeargent 10y agoWell, there's Cloudready[1] which is ChromeOS for any computer. I installed it on mom's laptop (ancient device) and it works well. [1]: (https://www.neverware.com/freedownload/ https://www.neverware.com/freedownload/)
- bitmapbrother 10y ago>The status quo right now among android hardware vendors is to violate the GPL No it's not the status quo. The major OEM's do release their code. Yes, there are some Chinese OEM violators, but that's typical of China.
- grizzles 10y agoYou can release code and still violate the GPL in other ways. For example, there are binary blobs out there and the GPL is pretty unequivocal on this point: "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it."
- matthewmacleod 10y agoReleasing binary blobs is definitionally not releasing the source, though.
- simonh 10y agoIt depends whether the binary blob is a derived work or not. http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/gpl_modules.html http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/gpl_modules.html
