I don't really understand why there should be any correlation between an SD update release and the release of patch files for any GPL'ed or other open source software on the device . . . . .
Seen before, on bsd versions. It is called blob. Like it or not.
One thing is not the show the source, the other is not to give
correct upgrade method. Taking parts out of the device and
making exact copy is the same to me. Another options is not
to show the device itself to the user. Secrecy granted.
