Topic: "Where is the source code of GNU/linux Montavista" ?
Dear GPL-VIOLATIONS.ORG & CC:
With the herewith, i inform you that i was interested to download
GNU/linux Montavista for my D-Link G624T from
http://source.montavista.com but it is not possible
"This Site Is Under Construction and Coming Soon.
This Domain Is Registered with Network Solutions"
I hope that Montavista is joking
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MontaVista_Linux#Open_Source_contributions
MontaVista has a history of being a major contributor to the Linux
kernel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel and the open source
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source community. From the
beginning, Jim Ready said he wanted to make it "100% pure Linux" under
the GPL.[11]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MontaVista_Linux#cite_note-11 The core
changes to make MontaVista Linux into a real-time operating system
were made by Nigel Gamble and later updated by Robert Love.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Love [12]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MontaVista_Linux#cite_note-12 Robert Love
submitted the changes to the Linux kernel in 2001. The Linux 2.6
stable kernel series is the first to include similar features, such as
priority-based preemption.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preemption_(computing) As of 2008,
MontaVista had contributed 1.2% of the Linux kernel, making it the
9th-largest corporate contributor to the Linux kernel, according to a
survey by the Linux Foundation.[13]
MontaVista has strong connections with the development of Linux under the
PowerPC architecture, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC and hosts a
development Linux kernel source tree on http://source.mvista.com/. (Closed
down. Patches moved to git kernel)
MontaVista has also spun off independent open source projects based on a
number of its features, including dynamic power management,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_management high resolution POSIX
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX timers, the pramfs file system,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_systems#Special_purpose_file_systems
[14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MontaVista_Linux#cite_note-14 and the
openais implementation of the SA Forum's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Availability_Forum Application
Interface Specification.[15]

I found this discussion on:
ttp://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01833.html
about Montavista, i watched the http://kernel.org/git but where to search
for Montavista ?
I have not time to lose, searching in kernel.org/git because is not clear
where to search for.
I found this discussion about:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0302.0/0706.html but in the
mail is clear that in the ftp there is not the kernel code, to the same
time via lftp, is not possible to connect
ftp.montavista.com

Is montavista linux violating GPL ? Posted 05 February 2003 - 06:34 AM
Sincerely, i must to understand, whyt they must to hide, i found few
documentation, hoping can help anyone:
Linux on TI OMAP processors - Free Electrons
free-electrons.com/doc/linux_omap.odp [odf] to be downloaded
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html
http://www.muru.com/linux/omap/
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git
Is not clear, why to search a git, it is necessary to search in all the
World Wide Web, when could be more easy to find in
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git
if things are more easy to search for :-(
And anyway i have not solved the problem, my D-Link G624T is a MIPS, is not
a ARM :-(
BusyBox v0.61.pre (2007.09.24-08:20+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
cpu model : MIPS 4KEc V4.8
BogoMIPS : 149.91
wait instruction : no
microsecond timers : yes
extra interrupt vector : yes
hardware watchpoint : yes
VCED exceptions : not available
VCEI exceptions : not available
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux.git for MIPS
I dedicated 2 hours, to found these informations, for the simple fact that
corporation always hides.
Happy Hacking,
Paolo Del Bene
p.s: next time i put to charge of the corporation, the cost per time,
dedicated to searc for, and i'll not search more for a long delay, but
i'll go to consider after 30 minutes a GPL Violation, if documentation,
will not be easely to find.
