I liked the first title?  :)

 

Anyway, you are on a roll today.

 

If I'm being honest, I thought the Pine Distro sponsorship was a bit gimmicky (and also infected with "social justice" nonsense) however giving away 1,000 boards to people (even if they are small and inexpensive) is still quite a nice gesture.  Good marketing for them, anyway, and still a lot cheaper than hiring another dev...  ;)

 

All cynicism aside, if we end up with an actual blob free, small form factor, low power multi mode device, it will be a win-win.  So maybe even brilliant on their part?  I dunno.

pine64.com has declared, that in general they do not have the means to contract people

in order to get their products ready for everyday use. I think it is wrong if

free software people who make essential contributions do not get compensation. Fact

is, free software people have not been able to device a scheme to make that

happen. Do you have one?

 

If pine64.com were to utilize what ever people contribute, paying no compensation,

making money on it and bunker the money for their own uses, then it

would be an abusive behavior. Can you document that that is what pine64.com

is doing? Else you are engaging in derogative claims.
