Hi!
I now had a longer email conversation with Thalia, who sold the Oyo
ebook reader which implements Linux and other GPLed stuff.
The conversation was in German and I would like to forward it here since
I am now at a point where I actually do not fully know where the legal
boundaries are.
The problem e.g. is that I bought the device from a third party, not
from Thalia directly. Thalia was the OEM that sold them originally in
Germany. The ODM is Medion.
I now have the problem that Thalia does not want to fulfill the
requirements of the GPL since they say that I am not their customer.
Formally this is true. But they are still offering the firmware binaries
from their servers!
Medion did not reply yet at all :(
I just forwarded that to somebody who was involved in the OYO
development, hope they can help
