[Hedda]

Donor, you don't know products

And apparently VidOn still do not know what XBMC/Kodi being under GPL licensed requires from you.

Or worse, you do know and are just ignoring it, and as such are clearly violating the GPL license.

So Hedda, please tell me what is GPL if you think you know it very well.
Thank you very much.

GPL compliance is very simple if you just make it a routine of ALWAYS releasing the source for ALL the binaries of XBMC/Kodi that you post to the public, here and on your site.

GPL compliance mean that when you post a link to a binary version of XBMC/Kodi you must release the source code for that specific binary version when anyone asks.

This goes for any version, no matter if it is your Final release or if it only an RC, Alpha, Beta, or one-off experimental build, (yes even if it is a very minor bug-fix build).

You are not allowed to refuse providing source code for every binary, and you can not claim that you only release source code for final versions and not Beta/Alpha.

Not releasing the source code for EACH released binary, including RC, Alpha, Beta, or one-off experimental builds is violating the GPL, period.

This is not a gray-zone matter that is up for discussion, this is a black and white demand in order not to get reported as a GPL violator. This is clear in the GPL FAQ

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

Here is a simple practical guide to GPL compliance:

http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources...guide.html

Please read it!

Honestly I do not care if you don't understand it, I just demand that you release the source code as per the GPL requirements, even if you don't understand why.

All others here understand why, and XBMC/Kodi developers understand why, and that should be enough for you to respect.

Thank you, but I didn't see the A31s in the list.

A31 and A31s uses the same kernel code, both use the same sun8i core, so in this case A31 = A31s. See http://linux-sunxi.org/Allwinner_SoC_Fam...eme_change.

I agree that this is not the right forum for discussing VidOn violating the GPL as far as the Linux kernel goes, as I think that we should only discussion violations to XBMC/Kodi here.


Off-topic: On top of you clearly violating the GPL when it comes to the XBMC/Kodi source code, you are also not following XBMC/Kodi trademark guidelines either

http://kodi.wiki/view/XBMC:Trademark_Policy_FAQ

That is, you are not allowed to call your version of XBMC "VidOn XBMC" because your products can not contain the name "XBMC" or name name "Kodi".

Nor may you use a different revision versioning of your releases such as "XBMC 0.0.0.5" because it can confuse users.
