Excuse me very much, I don't mean to offend anyone, I actually care
about project a lot.
I really appreciate the project and I would like to have a gta04 based device,
probably tablet. It's just too expensive for me now.
Recently I became a lucky owner of a freerunner, got one used, and
need to tell, that I had a lot of problems both under SHR and QtMoko.
I believe it's solvable.
Unfortunately the device is not very useful because I cannot get stable
connection to the internet to run pidgin, due to power management probably, also in
recent SHR releases most of the time sim card don't get recognized. And I
feel that n810 as mobile computer is more useable. That's why I would like
to find a used openpandora, because it's open, and it's mobile computer. I
don't need a phone, if I have jabber with ssl connection.
Anyway, I just want to add, that indeed, if one needs to OCR a pdf, then
it's more like reverse engineering, rather than source. It's of course
arguable, but I don't see why don't share the actual source files? Why?

Yes. And the PDF is the source.
I don't believe this is the case. I believe the PDF was compiled from
designs that came from other files. I don't believe your circuit
designs were written in the PDF language. If they came from other
files, the PDF is not the source, the other files are the source.
You can run OCR and convert it into any
format you like. And modify it as you like. What else do you expect? More
convenience?
It's not so much about convenience. Let me quote the GPL 2:
"The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it."
