I was reading a thread the other day concerning MiSter. Evidently, the buildroot hasn't been relinquished to the public. But, shouldn't that be dispersed openly, too? The cores have to be, of course. But why not the buildroot? Forgive my ignorance, just trying to understand.

CentOS was a project that recreated the entire RedHat Ent Linux buildroot since RHEL didn’t give it away. The linux distro in the MiSTer is tiny by comparison, and we can already compile binaries for it. Its not a very high hurdle. Won’t get far with a fork if this is the blocker
I don't seem to recall CentOS history being like that at all re: "since RHEL didn’t give it away" https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2004-May/000153.html … it was always a proper fork. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS pic.twitter.com/BdJBFLKEgu

CentOS releases lagged RHEL releases because in each case the CentOS team had to create a working buildroot for the RHEL source, they didn’t get that from RedHat. Their fork had to be binary compat, so it wasn’t easy. For mister you’re talking about much less work.

"CentOS releases lagged RHEL releases because in each case the CentOS team had to create a working buildroot for the RHEL source" please show documentation of this claim.
