Maybe I missed something. I thought this project was supposed to be all open source. That way kids could learn about the tablet itself, all the way down to the source code and hardware specification level.

- simonh 13y agoOpen source means you provide the source. It doesn't mean you're under any obligation to support the hardware, software, packaging, testing and distribution needs of anyone other than yourself. The OLPC project doesn't need to support different hardware designs, packaging and distribution forms that would be nice for other people or projects to have, and don't have the resources to do so, so they don't.
