NiaTrue, you're completely wrong.
1. At first, we asked for source code many times. Starting from the moment when i get EE (in march). Then I asked another users to do the same hoping that bigger demand will help. Than you remember the thread about GPL violation. Then when I talked with EE executive about development I also mention that it's allmost impossible without source code.... So during 5 month all request were ignored. I don't get why EE choose such kind of releationship. But it's their decision. On my hand I also decide to not promote EE via our media or community channels. (yep. it's loose loose situation, but I simply can't promote an item if I were not satisfied with it).
2. Now EE released source code. HipHopHurrey!? Wrong. Because it's incomplete and we not even able to rebuild current kernel modules (not spoken about complete rebuild of system).
3. If you run EE, go to settings, about then there's "licensing information" tab. Click on commercial... the only listed is "Adobe". Then click on GPL... and you'll see the huge list of GPL code used. Then think, whom you must thanks for making such device awailable to you: an company which take other's people work and spend several monthes to compile it.., or the people behind this code which spend several years to create something which anyone can use?
