The project is open source. All you need to build a Kiwi is available for no charge. What "legacy" doesn't understand is the fact, that the developers subversion repositories contain yet unreleased programs for Kiwi which are in development. He ignored the fact, that he can find everything he needs in the forum and the website. Some other members of the community and myself tried to help him, gave tipps and provided links. He always ignored those and never followed the links. He asked things which were already described on the frontpage (e.g. what PCB program we used). Last but not least he became rude, insulted us ([details removed by moderator]) just because he doesn't get access to the developers repositories. We don't need to release anything to the public even though the hardware project itself is. E.g. the Raspberry Pi is an open project but you would have to pay for video codecs... However, we will release our work to the public when it is ready to be released and not when someone claims it. - It is called lwIP not ucTCP/IP. It is licensed under a modified BSD license not GPL. - Indeed, the documentation could be better as it is just a spare time fun project. But everything you need, you find on the website and forum. The members are willing to help too. - The gEDA project files are available in the forum as well. - The toolchains works well. It's a GCC cross toolchain. Anyway, he is on his own little private campaign against our hobby project instead of using his energy on his own project. Which is very sad. He ignores the fact, that he could build a Kiwi on his own and doesn't need to buy a kit. Latter is just an option for those who are lost else. |
