Another Open Source project succumbing to corporate creed.
- geerlingguy 2y agoThe Pi itself was never open source hardware; most of the engineering staff (and Eben Upton himself) came over from Broadcom, which is not a company known for much friendliness towards OSS.
- dividuum 2y agoWhat a weird thing to say. The Pi is more open source than ever. Output is controlled by DRM/KMS. Video decoding uses FFmpeg and OpenGL is now via Mesa. All of that was closed source binaries two generations ago. Kernel changes are pushed upstream if possible too. Sure I can’t print my own board, but that was never the case or the goal.
