That is not in the category of "what Linaro does". The code written at Linaro is open and open lists discuss it. It is the vendor pushing those NDAs, not Linaro. Joining Linaro is not going to automatically change Allwinner's position on keeping Cedar source secret. Do we even know for sure if Allwinner has the ability to open source it and that Cedar is free from a third party licensing mess? BTW, Hisilicon has never been open source friendly so why did you buy their stuff? > patch there (hint: you wont be able to. Because: NDAs, strict userlist and > zero documentation). I haven't had any trouble with getting them to take my patches. But maybe they are in a gray area since several of the key ARM kernel maintainers are also Linaro employees. Here are the mailing lists... http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo I'm not insider but I believe there are two kinds of NDAs inside of Linaro. 1) Vendors that don't want to be open. 2) NDAs for unannounced products. By any way you slice it, I believe Allwinner joining Linaro will improve their software offerings, not hurt them. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "linux-sunxi" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to linux-sunxi+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
