Given that Netronix appears to have violated the GPL, I don't see where that deal would count. Besides, if Netronix doesn't want to sell any more devices, it should just make the danged things impossible to change, update or be used - and while the OS works fine, the 'included' reader app pretty much already DOES that. Now Mobipocket *might* be a problem - but here again, selling this firmware update would *broaden* the Mobipocket market, not narrow it. Logically, this would be seen by Mobipocket as a 'good' thing - but we've all seen companies tossing logic upsidedown.
