- yencabulator 4y agoWhat does that mean, though? Wouldn't they need an open source license for everything in BTStack except non-RP2040 drivers? There's a daemon, there's a "libusb", etc. This sounds like it'd require open sourcing practically all of BTStack, not just one driver?
- nulld3v 4y agoThere's really not that much. "libusb" is just the port of BTStack to the libusb API.
- yencabulator 4y agoI'm just curious about the backstory; did the RPi foundation pay BTStack to be ok with this sudden open sourcing?
- orra 4y agoIt sounds like it won't be open source. It'll be redistributable, but legally only usable on Raspberry Pis. Just like cyw43-driver.
- yencabulator 4y agoOkay, so the minimal pessimistic interpretation of "more permissive". Bummer.
