Re: [Trisquel-users] NetGear PTV300 (Miracast Receiver) Firmware GPL v2

[chris]

I didn't look into the firmware for this device although am a bit skeptical  
it is actually 100% free. There are a lot of things that are GNU GPL licensed  
and not actually free due to bits of non-free software that the code is  
dependent on. That said it would be odd for them to release 100% of the code  
for the firmware of a device that appears to only work with MS Windows and is  
dependent on a propritary technology from Intel called WiDi. From what I  
gather Intel WiDi is not supported on GNU/Linux (as free software or  
otherwise).
