Hmm, looking at Appendix B, it seems that the hardware is using something with a 4 clause BSD-style license. Could they be using OpenSSL for this product, perhaps?
Other than that, it seems that the Kingfish is their portable unit that's designed to be out in a field location, judging by the remote antenna input on the unit, and a section discussing battery charging. The Stingray unit seems to be something that's in a more controlled location, and as such, has an ethernet port, serial port, and a pair of usb a ports. External hard drive ports, perhaps?
- hydrogen18 12y agoWhat would the use of open source software matter?
- calgoo 12y agoIf its GPL code.... We could try to make a request for the source.
- c0nsumer 12y agoIt's only required that the source be given to those who get the binaries. Since that's not "we" it won't work.
- hydrogen18 12y agoYou may not understand how the GPL works. Just because I have Linux on my Banana Pi board doesn't mean I need to share with anyone the source code for every piece of software that is running on it. If you did somehow make a request under the GPL, you would probably get vanilla source for a large number of software packages such as the Linux kernel and a libc implementation. You would not get the proprietary components.
