Hacking Discussion Where is SX OS and 7.0-1 Support?

[xabier]

Why don't they release it as another beta if it now works? Just warn some features might not work?

I wouldn't mind if they released an atmosphere branded solution.

 

[Creatable]

I wouldn't mind if they released an atmosphere branded solution.

But they would.

That would prove the point that they are "adopting" code.

That wouldn't be a problem. Most of their users already know this

It might not be a problem for you and it's users, TX openly admitting they had to use someone else's code, pigs may fly first

 

[ghjfdtg]

It would tell potential new customers there is another free solution.

 

[smf]

Nonsense
It's open source and legal

If tx steals their shit how would that make scires guilty of anything?

Because SciresM broke the chain of trust, it doesn't really matter if its open source or not.

What?

That was posted 2 weeks ago lolz.

right around the corner™

not to be confused with SOON®

the fuck you talking about mate?

 

[Essasetic]

Just because 5% of Sept is closed source (method of getting keys and the keys themselves) isn't exactly breaking "a chain of trust" 99% of Atmosphere is still open source.

Even then it was made only to stop TX from getting their slimy hands on the code and claiming it for themselves. I'd argue it's a smart move from ScriesM and the people from ReSwitched.

If it's not 100% open source then it's not open source. Simple as that.

A lot of Linux distros still use proprietary drivers, does that make it non-opensource?

Sections of projects can be open source. For atmosphere's case <1% of Atmosphere is closed source (and it may just be the case that it's not even apart of the main branch). Which makes Atmosphere 100% still open source.

It makes them non free, you can always use librelinux, ask Stallman.

If you can't build it yourself at home its not 100% free software.

 

[Essasetic]

You can still compile the code and make modifications for yourself. The method isn't apart of Atmosphere and the keys are illegal to release. So that does mean Atmosphere is still 100% open source. ScriesM could've just decided to keep Sept closed source. But he didn't!

Atmosphere is fully compliant with the GPLv2, and thus is free and open source.

It may not meet the requirements for GPLv3...but eh, I don't like GPLv3 for a number of reasons, and don't license it under GPLv3.

Sept's fully open source, you can build it -- your build just won't work on hardware without keys. Keys aren't source code + would be illegal to share, and this is all GPLv2 kosher.

Hahaha, check out the SXOS guys in here trying to guilt SciresM into revealing the method so they can steal it.

They normally bribe. Guilt tripping isn't gonna work though. Wish TX luck in getting the keys though

 

[linuxares]

I guess they can try to reverse engineer the TSEC or Sept.

How can they do that without the method?

I did say try right?
