As I understand it, - A note in the About linking to original sources is enough, if there are no changes. - Drivers can be proprietary. - Apps can be proprietary. Does that cover all the cases that would have to be present, as opposed to corner cases that might not be in play? Not sure I got

Unfortunately, the price is a bit unfriendly. I've had a couple of Graphire tablets for about 20 years that are in the $100 range. Not the same, of course, but given the evolution of time and prices of other things, $680 seems a lot for an input device. Let's hope there'll be some other players.

I am currently shopping for one of those tablets where you write on the tablet and the writing is recorded on the device, sync'ed with your system or storage. The reMarkable 2 seemed to have been one of the favorite so far, and I also found out that it is actually running Linux, not simply a
