I am by no means an open source legal analyst but have wondered for some time how both Innosilicon and Halong Mining have closed source firmware if they are using open source miners.  I have asked both Halong and Innosilicon for copies of the firmware without any luck.

While I know there may be parts that they do not want to share, I am unable to figure out if they can continue to use it without permission from -ck et al. in a closed firmware application.


For those wondering about the Firmware Updates that Inno publishes, those are not complete firmware packages.


Thanks in advance, I hope -ck can chime in.

Know nothing about innosilicon's hardware, but halong's will be all open in time since I'm cleaning up their driver. The codebase is still in wild flux so there's nothing useful to push yet.
