MIT licenced firmware... Another bunch of libertarian kids who don't know better.
Like they don't know everyone likes buttons, specially page turn buttons,
I only vaguely remember hearing nerds debating between the GPL licenses and MIT, way back when...What makes the MIT license libertarian?
I guess by not enforcing openness through copyleft? It's free at the source code, but it doesn't protect freedoms.
