Archos Releases 604, 604 Wi-Fi Firmware Into to Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to the fact that Archos used GPL and LGPL code in constructing
| their firmware for the Archos 604 and 604 Wi-Fi devices, they're
| forced to release just about the source code for said firmware
| into the public domain.

Squiz bows to GPL pressure
,----[ Quote ]
| Squiz's statement also claimed the GPL decision illustrated that the
| open source development model could be followed as a successful
| commercial strategy -- instead of the traditional development
| paradigm which requires source code to be kept private and sold for a fee.
|
| "Looking ahead, instead of licensing fees, we will continue to
| sell support services which include warranty, help-desk support
| and uptime guarantees to organisations that need this level of
| certainty, whilst other MySource Matrix users can choose to develop
| and support the product for themselves if that is what they prefer,"
| Squiz director and co-founder Steve Barker said.
|
| Squiz claims around 100 staff located throughout Australia, New
| Zealand and England.
