The "makers" of this device had this EULA imposed by Chinese ODM - company licensed by Rockchip to implement their SoC, company holding all the NDAs, all the 'secret sauce', and all the kernel sources that they WILL NOT release because they DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT GPL. Rockchip isnt a Linaro member. Heh, Allwinter is a group member, and even they dont give a duck about gpl and only release some sources with 6-12 months delay. Rockchip is hostile, all they do is take from open source community. BTW: Rockchip ODMs started spreading this cancer beyond Linux kernel. They hijacked XBMC now and distribute closed source fork with hardcoded support for their inhouse proprietary h.265 decoder http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=202924&pid=1795164#pid1795164 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=202924&pid=1795164#... Quote from one of Chinese Rockchip ODMs: "i have no idea of GPL as it is Rockchip released this XBMC version for all factories, after confimed wtih our engineer, we tried to get the soure, but RK did not give it to us."
