Hi
i have an Elonex eb600 I tried to get the gpl source code from elonex but they have just ignored me so i sent another request cc to gplviolations.org. gplviolations followed up asking me extra information about gpl violation ie how do i know. The problem is i am now running cool-er firmware see(https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...?t=60496)which i think is identical.
Does anyone have the elonex eb600 and can confirm that on one of the dialogs it states that software is gpl and available on request.Elonex
has a bunch of other ebook readers now and no mention of gpl i think its quite likely they use linux as well so pushing this issue about the eb600 might push them to have a better policy about gpl rather than conveniently ignoring it.
Thanks tony
