Probably the key to eventual clarity is at PJRC's forum. PJRC makes Teensy. Imho it's a great product, and the owner, Paul Stoffregen, a great engineer and person from my experience using their products.
https://forum.pjrc.com/index.php?threads/open-source-teensy-compatible-what-features-do-you-want.77584/ https://forum.pjrc.com/index.php?threads/open-source-teensy-...
My summary:
1. SparkFun and Adafruit are in conflict
2. SparkFun manufactures Teensy under license from PJRC
3. SparkFun cuts off Adafruit as a reseller
4. Adafruit can no longer sell Teensy
5. Adafruit posts on PJRC forum announcing an open-source Teensy competitor
6. Paul posts that it's outrageous in terms of etiquette that they're announcing a competitor on his forum. Adafruit's own forum only allows discussion of Adafruit products.
He's allowing it despite mixed feelings.
- nerdile 9mo ago? This may be one of those "90% of the audience doesn't care and is increasingly less likely to buy from either vendor the more they fight in public" situations
- DetroitThrow 9mo agoPaul is awesome. Seems to be stuck in the middle of Adafruit and SparkFun duking it out.
