Aren't they still serial and uncaring GPL violators?
- colechristensen 5y agoJust being practical here: who isn’t? That is companies that sell hardware with gpl code that actually respect the gpl well.
- jolux 5y agoMy $50 TP-Link router came with a card in the box explaining their GPL compliance and giving me a link to their changes. I would think if I'm going to blow hundreds on Ubiquiti gear, they could at least match TP-Link when it comes to actually following the law.

- jolux 5y agoLatest I can find is this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21450944 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21450944 I’m not sure if it’s still ongoing, that’s why I asked if it was.
- MertsA 5y agoMy comment from back then stands. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21451666 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21451666 There's also some random community post here: https://community.amplifi.com/topic/3296/gpl-source-code-availability https://community.amplifi.com/topic/3296/gpl-source-code-ava... They're still in flagrant violation of the license for all the software they're stealing.
- fomine3 5y agoIIRC FCC disallow to open radio related source even though it's GPL. I don't know Ubnt opens other sources.
- oaiey 5y agoYou can assume that from 99% of all device vendors. It is a shame but it is a reality. That is not something I would put on Ubiquti especially considering all their other serious flaws in product management.
