Ok. So it's basically (and maybe exclusively) an ethical problem, which grounds on the faults and ignorance of Allwinner, which they stated in the beginning of the XBMC story, when these devices popped up.
To sum up, my interpretation from what I've read in Kodi dev's posts, that allwinner support will only happen, when someone new appears and takes this task.
What I personally prefer on the allwinner devices is, that they are basically good hardware, which suit on the Kodi task, and that kodi may run on them with open source and blob-less software (expect Mali for sure), if someone finishes the task. Efforts startet already. We must stop counting on help from allwinner. We won't get it.
I ack you regarding your last GPL statement btw.
