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.

*shrug* It’s open source, I’m sorry you can’t figure it out on your own. The mister folks aren’t obligated to help turn their FPGA system into a print server. Seems reasonable given their goals. And using that linux as a starting point is needlessly uphill anyway.
The mere fact that they refuse to share the build scripts by definition alone, per GPL is NOT open source.

It’s a seemingly complex project that you can’t get to build. The GPL doesn’t require that they have to meet you halfway, regardless of where you are, and give you whatever you need to build yourself. Might be cool if they did stuff like that, but they aren’t compelled.
