Triode has made his feelings pretty clear about people "profiting" from software he has been involved in, (even though the licenses it is released under do not prevent that), and on the other hand I was being pressured to remove the work I had done on I2S drivers and support for the TP Botic cape. (So basically, anyone else wanting to compete against "their" commercial player would not be given a helping hand.) And on the basis that Triode is now making something available again with what he appears to be doing with Arch, (not that I have looked at it), I think it is better for the CS Fedora based distribution to die and hopefully be remembered fondly, rather than cause new wounds. And just for the record I am being sued over CS, I received the legal paper work 2 days ago. Already this project has cost me thousands in hosting and legal fees, money I have personally spent. (And that's before you factor in that I turned down a very lucrative contract to continue working on CS for "free".) And on Friday I was asked for a £2000 "retainer" to start a defence against this latest bullshit! Which leads me into needing to make this clear, (and please Erland do not contradict me again, because the lack of a public statement from Adrian and John and your previous "give them time" postings, has contributed to at least one person, now suing me, purchasing a Wandboard after I announced my retirement), ..

I agree that the situation is unclear, especially as to whether the hardware is continuing. Personally I was surprised to see that the plan was that the player hardware would also run a full LMS server. This seems a waste of time to me and I would have thought anyone geeky enough to be still running LMS. Surely nearly everyone has a server? All I wanted was a better network player to replaced my Duet Receiver. Frankly a Duet Receiver that can play 24/96 would be enough to satisfy me, I'm already using an external DAC. The community player was overkill for my needs.

HI JackOfAll.. I was a little late on the news, But I need to say , you have done an amazing piece of work. Sorry what had happening to you, but you need to know that "your silly little Internet project" , has been working fine since the days of "plastic box plays noises". I'm using it every day (plus 4 friends of mine is doing it too) and we love it very very much. I was a little late to grab the latest images, but hopefully someone who has them you provide a download link in the future... Best wishes with your projects in the future, I know you also has some love for "vacuum tubes" , so we had something in common. And a little off topics regards the "vacuum tubes"... I have spend a lot of time off researching (still novice regards tubes), but I find those incredible guys at diyaudio.com.

I could tell a couple of stories relating to all night raves when I used to work in the city. I'll skip past the stuff that would probably need to be censored, (there might be those of a delicate disposition present), and just recall how after a day at work, and a hard night at it partying, you could head to Smithfields meat market for the best "Full English" cooked breakfast in the country, heavy on the black pudding and washed down with a glass of Guiness, before getting back into work, quick wash and brush up, and be sat back at desks before "normal" people got in at 0900.

But I'm not. There is no need to name and shame, someone who hasn't done anything wrong. I'm not going to name anyone "so they can be avoided like the plague". You want to avoid someone like the plague. Avoid me. I screwed-up by not anticipating. Me, not Triode, not John. Me, not Klongin Inc. You know, where does this all end. Shall we stir the pot? If one of these commercial entities is fulfilling their GPL obligations, (by pointing back to the CS web site), from which source code isn't available any more, what shall we do? Report them licensing@fsf. Shall we get the FSF on my back? Shall we get their legal people coming down on me like a tonne of bricks for not fulfilling my GPL obligations? I am trying to help you guys and myself by getting this stuff made available again. Images, the repo, source. My obligations didn't end the day I retired. We don't need to be bad mouthing people who have not done anything wrong, and especially commercial entities that can afford lawyers. I don't know whether you guys realise this, but I am in a hole. I was in a hole, and it has been dug deeper with the unplugging of the repo. So calling people dispicable who don't deserve it and some sort of "avoid like the plague" list, is somewhere we really don't need to go right now. Think people, please!

There are reasons why upstreams like Fedora and Ubuntu place as much stock in trademark as license protection. If you change one line of code, you cannot call it Fedora, that is protected by trademark, it is a respin, remix or some such, and "unofficial", so downstreams who make mods cannot point fingers straight back at upstream at the point any changes they have made or the distribution of their "version" of the upstream OS causes them a problem.

The problem is that legal responsibility doesn't stop for what I'm not not distributing It still exists for what has already been distributed. I cannot put the genie back in the bottle. It is out and it is staying out. And with (there was one, but now two) commercial entities already using the CSOS F19 image as a basis for a commercial product, it just makes things even more complicated. And I really don't want to shine on a torch on why, and make people who might not have been aware of something, aware of it. Just figure this... There is a bloody good reason why Clive was talking about making condition number 1 of a license agreement under which an image is distributed, "For non-commercial use ONLY! Commercial use prohibited!", and it's not because Clive wishes to "tax" them for every unit of a product they sell, to boost his pension pot. It's all about liability! ;) Krisbee wrote: > Good news re: Bone Player if cost is reasonable, bad news if company > dodge the community image.

Of course, they don't want code that I haven't published under GPL yet, to be "given away" to anyone who wants it, ie. competitors. They aren't interested in anything other than a finished player. But that's the payback for the finished player, having to distribute community images. They realise that they need to give something back. And right now, it looks like they lack a cursory understanding of the GPL, kernel development That they would have to publish source for kernel modifications to GPL'd code, (and indeed entire kernel source), with the exception of the board specific I2S driver packaged as an akmod, which could be licensed under something other than the GPL and be binary only, is going to derail this anyway JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
Pepe, If you're thinking of taking the debian route, the Robert Nelson netinstall might be of interest: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall, but it's a technical install. In any case "squeezelite" does exist as a package in debian armhf testing and unstable repos, but it's not built with either FFMPEG or DSD support. You may have to adjust the image sources to install it along with its dependencies. It does install as a service, but you may need to edit the "etc/default/squeezelite" file to fix the squeezelite options. I've no idea if any debian image will have WIFI/bluetooth working on the Wandboard, and have you received a new C revision board?

Would it not have been possible to create and distribute a Fedora based image with the patched kernel and root file system, but devoid of the jivelite/squeezelite/webUI/LMS content, or parts of, which lead the distributer to be open to legal claim? This assumes that some of the original image content was to blame for these legal threats. and/or those buying Wandboard assumed some ongoing support etc etc. The "jivelite/squeezelite/webUI/LMS" parts would need to be installed after the image is running on the Wandboard. I haven't expressed this very well, but in a nutshell the CSOS Image would be like any other speclalist Linux distro install with a mechanism/scripts to install the vital content, with licences, once the image is up and running. This is hardly different to the original pre-built image which was Patched Kernel + rfs + csos repos, so may be all same legal issues would still apply. It also assumes ongoing access to the patched kernel and repos that previously existed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
I don't know whether others will see this as good news, or bad. In the interests of disclosure and before any rumours start circulating, (a couple of other people know now), I am in discussions with a company about them selling a product based on my, (what would otherwise have never seen a public release), Bone Player design. Whilst that will be for profit, (by them), before any accusations are levelled about me profiteering from the open source work of others, the payment I have asked for, is if they do so using the F20 based image I have produced, they have to make a community image available, free of charge, for the Wandboard. For the current incantation of my F20 based image, which the Bone Player depends on, a single image is built from scratch, using exactly the same mechanism that Fedora upstream uses to generate their release images, with customisations and package additions, which runs on several platforms. And before anyone asks how that is possible, (if anyone even cares), booting the same image on Wandboard, Cubietruck and BeagleBone. The clever bit, if there is such a thing, that makes it board specific when downloaded, is although on the web server filesystem the base image is one file, the Tomcat servlet, which handles the download, where you select the board, replaces the first couple of kb, where the board specific uboot is located, on-the-fly, as part of the download. Thus you get a board specific image, from a single core image. ie. the uboot is added as part of the download process. (Another significant piece to the puzzle was the back-port of the extlinux boot functionality from F21 rawhide to the F20 image, thus dropping the requirement for the first partition VFAT, for booting the BeagleBone.) I have also asked for a second "form" of payment It is monetary, but not up-front and only in the case of legal claims against any "work" I did for the CS project. I have *not* asked for any other kind of monetary payment, now or in the future, nor do I want any. I am not seeking to profit from this in any way! If this doesn't sit well with one or more people, I am sorry, but I believe if this deal is done, it will be best for me and the best I can currently do for the people who own and have bought a Wandboard, with the specific intention of using what should have been a Community Squeeze image, on them. Perhaps over a period of time, the community, can develop/build/distribute their own software images, but in the interests of having something actually available to replace the CS image in the short term, I think this makes sense. If it makes me a pariah from a community perspective, so be it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
I've refrained from commenting on this thread for a while and don't want to comment on some of the recent discussion, other than to thank Clive for all his work on the CSOS. I'm afraid the legal issues which Clive has identified distributing an OS image also mean that I am personally not in a position to take on distribution of CSOS images. However I do want to find a way of distributing the playback software to users of wandboard devices. I am looking at whether we can distribute code in a different way to enable users to get the same applications on their wandboard without needing to distribute an OS image. This will make the distribution mechanism less user friendly, but I hope it will mean that there are options for users with wandboards wishing to use as squeezebox players which can be supported going forward.

First of all, to avoid possible confusion or conspiracy theories, I just want to be very clear that ickStream has nothing to do with CSOS project nor anything that has happened to Clive personally. We were looking forward to see a community player compatible with the Squeezebox infrastructure and like everyone else around here we all feel very sad about the current situation both in the project and for Clive personally. I think the reference to ickStream NDA was just used as an example of a typical NDA. I'm no legal expert and due to this I do NOT recommend anyone to use text from the ickStream NDA. If someone really wants to distribute images in private, I'd recommend using the "Warranty" and "Limitation of liability" texts from one of the available open source licenses. Just make sure you read it and understand it before you use it and understand that if you are using it the wrong way it can potentially cause problems both for yourself, your relatives and people who have previously been involved in CSOS project. The last part from the 3-clause BSD license looks reasonably simple to me but since I'm not a legal expert I can't promise it will give anyone the necessary protection. For reference, even if I would like to make people happy I would personally not dare to distribute any images at the moment, the risk of causing problems for myself, my relatives or anyone who have been involved in the CSOS project is just too large when I don't understand what this is all about. I would be willing to share it to a close friend who I know and thrust but not with someone I don't know. Clive, if you feel I'm making this sound too scary, please feel free to correct me.

However much other people would like to help, their hands are tied too, for the reasons Clive has stated. It should be fairly clear to all, after reading #2492, that things have come to an end for CSOS, unless and until some kind of public statement is forth coming from Triode and or John Swenson, and, as I see it, the project moves from the reliance on actions taken as private individuals to the more formal footing of an official legal entity. Whether that happens is any ones guess. So Pepe, it's extremely sad, and your timing is unfortunate, but like other folk in your position, you will need to get to grips with some Linux in order to make use of your Wandboard as an audio player.

For non-commercial use ONLY! Commercial use prohibited! 2. ickStream NDA Clause 5: Warranty. None, express or implied 3. ickStream NDA Clause 6: Limitation of liability. You should also add something about which legal juristiction is applicable, but that would depend on who is doing this and where in the world they are. Now unmount and dd that image back to a file. Bonus points, (on covering your arse), if on the web hosting side, if you make someone who wants to download the image, accept the license before giving them access to the file. (Which you really should do!) I do have a license which was drawn-up to be used with the F20 images. However, posting it is probably going to lead to more questions than it answers. It is long-winded, and doesn't really add anything to the above. But it really is rather long-winded, due to what was intended to happen with the dual licensing of squeezelite under a license other than GPL, still free to use, but locking down the distribution, forcing another name to be used by anyone making modifications to the image or wanting to swap the CS licensed version for the GPL'd version, and isn't really usable (enforceable) unless there is a legal entity, (ie. business), distributing the software, (still free for personal, non-commercial use), rather than being distributed by a private individual.

In all cases, it has been hardware first and software second. If you buy into the ARM World, you buy into that risk, and as far as running Linux is concerned, it's not really for the non-technical user (or those who are not prepared to put the effort in to learn enough to use it). Except, of course, when one or more talented people get together to give of their expertise and time freely for the benefit of others. > I really want to answer this, but it is rather a long answer and right > now, other things, (getting the repo hosted elsewhere), are more > important.

No, the liability remains. But as the title suggests it "limits" such liability to the company (LLC) and it's assets, holdings, income. It protects the person(s) who own shares in the LLC from personal liability beyond that of the LLC. Filing for an LLC is pretty simple and costs $125 where I live. However, there are very particular rules on how such an entity is run and the LLC must file an annual tax return with passive income/loss included on each owners personal tax returns. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

It's becoming clearer that Clive was keeping this project afloat against all the odds, and at some personal cost, so it's a miracle it lasted this long. With a less determined individual at the helm, it probably would have folded long ago and we all owe him a debt of gratitude. What a sad world we live in that a -*"little late night coding on a "silly little internet project -*"should bring a whole heap of ordure down on your head. Whether moving the project to some kind of kickstart/crowd funding basis would/could avoid the legal problems I really wouldn't know.

Would you then have been able to create & distribute images for various ARM devices, host repos etc, free from legal threat and interference? Or it is more complicated than that?

She left him 3 months ago. And while I cannot lay the blame for that directly at the door of CS, I am reminded of the night that I spoke to her after I came back from the meeting with the solictor. Things were never quite the same again after I explained to her the risk I had put myself, her and my family at, as CS was not a legal entity and that if there was any legal liability to be apportioned, it would be against me personally, and that as I did not have the protection of a limited company, it could result in me (and us) being bankrupted. I remember what she said. I'll never forget it. Image a sentence about me be a stupid fool, but a little stonger and needing a few bleeps and you wont be too far away. Things never were quite the same. And they got even more "stressed" when I explained that the dedicated "CS backup" internet connection that I was providing for the "backup" repo server, which was in her name on the contract with the internet provider, made her as liable as me. Now double the bleeps. Maybe the above might server as a cautionary tale about how a little late night coding on a "silly little internet project" can turn a whole lot more serious, real quickly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
First, let me state clearly upfront, this is NOT an attempt to fan any flames, or bring out the trolls. This is first and foremost one more big THANK YOU!! to Clive for all the time and effort put into CSOS. I do not claim to speak for Clive, and I don't know that this is the actual or the entire situation. I may be out of line for saying as much as this with no actual info, but to all the perplexed readers - please go back and read the whole thread. Clive's frustration did not come about overnight, and his legal concerns have very significant merit. Please note, that the one thing NOBODY has offered to do is take over the hosting and distribution along with the legal quagmire that it invites. Most of us don't have the resources, even if we wanted to, but regardless, it is not a trivial thing to host and distribute software in a world with potentially litigious people. I'm not trying to scare someone away from offering to help, but please, before you beg Clive to either continue or make an exception for you, or heaven forbid, condemn him for retiring, contemplate the perpetual stress that having a potential claim hanging over you (and your family) can cause and juxtapose that against the whiners and complainers. Clive, I wish you a happy retirement and again thank you for all you have so freely given, at significant cost, both financial and emotional! rmac321's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

THANK YOU! Hello. I follow this thread since about a year. That was the time when I discovered the existence of this project. I immediately bought a wandboard because I was SO happy about this project. And since then it just works. What a great solution! I used a Squeezebox since 2005 (SB2 and then SB Touch) but as soon as the CSOS worked I sold the SB Touch :-) So I just want to thank you JackOfAll and all the others for your work! I have a working player and I am happy with it. Very best wishes from Vienna/Austria!!

Round of applause for Erland, please. Having read the exchange between myself and Erland today, I've just come back home after spending the afternoon with family, to get the news that the owner of the server that I lease for hosting communitysqueeze.org, (specifically, the software repo), has decided that without the indemnity agreement in place for us to continue hosting on behalf of whatever individual (or group of individuals) is now "running" Community Squeeze, has pulled the plug. I was at least trying to keep the repo running for existing users, even if new users couldn't obtain an image. And as if things couldn't get any more complicated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
My bitter disappointment at yesterday's statement from JackOfAll, who is capable of giving us so much, has not diminshed overnight. I've given up all hope and plans of buying into an ARM based player. I probably know enough Linux to get something running on one of these devices, but what's the point, as I know only too well it would be a poor second best. Where else will I find software that has been highly optimised to the target hardware? ( Patched kernels, optimsed software compiles and much more ) Work I've not seen the like of elsewhere. No wonder JackOfAll has been made lucrative offers. My own meagre talents don't stretch much beyond user testing, so would be of little help to this project. I've learnt a little about Fedora to do that, grappled with QEMU with some success and I was also forced to develop at least a basic understanding of what made the CSOS image tick, so I'm grateful for that opportunity. It's a tragedy and a terrible waste and loss to the community, if this has all come to an end.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
Let's focus on the facts, JackOfAll have clearly announced that he don't plan to continue as packager/developer in the CSOS project, he did that weeks ago, yesterdays post was just a clarification. We don't know the exact reasons for it and frankly it's none of our business, if JackOfAll doesn't want to continue that's his decision and he doesn't have to tell us exactly why. If JackOfAll still wants to continue posting in this thread and other CSOS related threads, we should encourage him rather then question if he is back in the project. If he sometime in the future would decide to join the project again, I'm sure he will let us know and in that case we should of course welcome him back. I'll consider Community Squeeze to be dead when we have also heard from Triode/JohnSwenson that they don't plan to continue, the fact that they are silent is probably because they are currently considering what options they have. From my perspective there are a lot people around here with a lot of knowledge, we shouldn't let the idea with a community based player die because one project member doesn't feel it's fun to work on it anymore. If someone have experience with software packaging or driver development and want to help it's probably a good idea to contact Triode or JohnSwenson and let them know. It might sound strange that the following comes from me, but I'm going to say it anyway since I've personal experience in the area. I think generally we all have to realise that most(all?) third party developers around here spend their spare time to improve our music listening experience. Some do it for free because they like the challenge and the idea to do something for the community while others do it for a small compensation through commercial apps/plugins, but in all cases we are talking about people who prefer to prioritise their spare time to be spent on things that prolong the life of the Squeezebox universe. It's easy to forget about this when you want a new feature or you are frustrated because your system doesn't work or you are tired of waiting. Let's be honest, it's our own individual choice if we want to stay in the Squeezebox universe and this community or if we want to move on to Sonos and other similar systems. If we choose to stay in the community, we should also make the third party developers feel appreciated and consider spending our own time to help them with whatever we can, it might be as easy as testing a new software version or giving feedback on a solution to guide them in the right direction. There are some people who believe this is all about money, please realise that this is NOT the case. With money the demands, critique and expectations increases rather than decreases, so when you decide to start asking for money you also have to be prepared to handle requests from users and helping users who don't get everything to work. In this regard money can actually make the situation worse if the main problem is that you feel that people have too high expectations or you feel a demand from them who you can't fulfil. I would personally prefer to see a commercial community based player rather than no community based player at all, but I also understand what kind of commitment this would require from the people behind it so I'm not going to ask for that, I'll instead leave it up to the people behind it to decide what's appropriate. In my mind it doesn't matter if it costs money, it doesn't matter if costs as much many as other commercial alternatives out there, it doesn't matter if the people behind it earn a lot of money on it, but it do matters that the people behind it is happy so let's leave the choice to them and let's not push them into a particular direction. My experience tells me that in these kind of projects, limited time is a lot bigger problem than limited budget. You might think that money could solve this, but in reality it's hard to earn enough money so it's possible to quit your day job, the community is just too small for this. Even if it would be possible to earn enough money to quit your day job, most people also have a family to think about and have to think about how the situation is going to look like 1-2 years in the future. Now, please remember this and let's try to not push Triode and JohnSwenson for an answer right now, if they need time to think about their options, let's give them some time. JackOfAll, thanks for all your efforts in the Community Squeeze project.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
Clive, First, I want to again thank you for all the effort you put into the Community Squeeze project. Even if it had just been the configuration, release, and support of the image, that was a tremendous job and one that I can't see how you ever had time for (along with eating and sleeping, much less a real job). And all the things above and beyond that, well, I can totally get where you are coming from... happy about it, no, but I can understand and have nothing but sympathy for you. I, for one, would be very interested in hearing what thoughts you have on what it would take to resurrect the CS. Non-open source (you pay for the image or get it with the HW?), Kickstarter, form a mini-corporation, push the rights to someone who is already doing this type of distribution, what? I've been following the genesis for over a year now, had decided it would be the direction for my next digital source, and like many, am sorely disappointed to hear of its demise. Do you see anyway to revive it? And what resources in addition to Adrian and John would be needed? Then, I'm sure a lot of people watching this want to say this, but have been too polite (or something), so I will... Adrian and John, what is next? I suspect there are a lot of lurkers in my shoes, liking the project and waiting for it to be realized in both SW and HW (as I don't have or desire a USB-DAC) and really wanting it to continue. So what's next... and what can we do to help make it happen? Many of us already have our Wandboxes... If I can contribute a bit to make it into my Squeezebox replacement, tell me what it is! And finally, I, like Krisbee and Pascal (and I am sure, many others), have nothing but contempt for the spoilers... but I'd really like to know who they are. I don't want to support them, I want to call them out in any venue I encounter them in, they have shat in what was looking to be a fabulous sandbox and I want to at least be sure not to enrich them with my coin or support them in their efforts... a pox on them, but can someone say who them are?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
A pox on the few who have spoilt this project. As a lurker on this forum have been watching this project with great interest. Thanks for at least trying as it seems to me that there was a lot of effort put into this by a few people who have skills well beyond my understanding. BUT as I have observed in small business many times , often the people you do a favour for free are the ones who will turn around and complain, or expect everything to then be in their favour. May their camel's all run away.

It really is a shame that those same selfish people are responsible for the death of CSOS. I truly liked this project and the efforts from all contributors. And if those selfish people are reading this: shame on you!! People like JackOfAll did this work free of charge for the sake of the community.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
LOGITECHMEDIASERVER-7.9.0-0.14.20140524GIT1400870426 These really will be the last LMS updates that I make for the CS repo. The Fedora LMS repo has been ready all week, but I haven't found time to write the documentation for people to be able to use it/migrate to it, so. Next week. Also, it might be worth noting now, that the FLMS repo 7.8.0 and 7.8.1 packages have had DSD support removed. So you won't want to upgrade if using 7.8.0 or 7.8.1 and you want to keep DSD support, unless you switch to the 7.9 unstable branch. I'll explain why in more detail later. Basically, upstream 7.9 includes the media scanning support for DSD, when you scan/rescan, from LMS. For anything below 7.9, I'm carrying a bunch of patches for that. It's caused me another problem this past week, with someone trying to "dissect" the source RPM that the 7.8.1 package is built from and then asking me a bunch of questions. There are several other things I'm trying to work on now. I thought that everything to do with DSD support was going to be upstreamed At some point, hopefully, all 3 parts of DSD support will be upstreamed. Until then, I'm fed up with me being the contact person for LMS DSD support, because I "appear" to the outside world to be "carrying" the patches and making the binary packages. Changes... Code: * Sat May 24 2014 - 7.9.0-0.14.20140524git1400870426 - Git revision public/7.9 0afb4e295a97d296f8221fa22bdb8dd33afea7d1.

Let cache expire on every restart. - Git revision public/7.9 83bfc0c9db4335d15df754c215b9ba2c3e54d9c4.

I also STR, that BT depends on the wi-fi having been initialised. Which it hasn't been. ;) That's why I wanted to get wi-fi working before moving onto BT. There may be something I'm missing Could be something in a later uboot enabling the 4330 wi-fi/BT or may an update to board.c init file. So maybe, no code changes to driver but somehwere else there is a code change to make this fly and it's not just firmware. I'll order another board, so I have a C1 to get this working with.
