The gpl requires them to release their modified xbmc source code.

I have no idea about XBMC gpl, perhaps you can contact Minix? I am only a potential customer looking for a powerful Android t.v. box that will work very good without major issues. I know that others are looking for the same so I created this thread. I have not ordered one myself yet. Time and testing will tell, perhaps this is the one many are looking for.

If they distribute XBMC then they are obliged to make the source available. That benefits all users because their code modifications make their way into xbmc core code and other people with similar hardware benefit.

If Minix do not distribute their source then they are acting illegally. DOn't support GPL violators.

If they are distributing their source, then that is excellent!

What you mean advertise? Just sharing my experience. Is that ok? I have the mini x8-h and beelink r89 the better product in my experience is the beelink r89 and its also alot cheaper so I thought maybe some people would like to know this.

He means that there is a lot of astro-turfing in this forum.

Folks who sign up just to say some really good things about some just-launched product look very suspicious, like they're being paid by the company to advertise. Don't take it personally - but it happens a lot and it is bloody annoying to the rest of us.
