Kernel patches, ... As a rule of thumb, everything contained in images for the dreambox is licensed as an open-source license, like GPL. One exception is our binary only kernel driver (head.ko, dream.o or xilleon.ko), which for multiple (unnamed) reasons can't be licensed as GPL (or similiar). We believe that it's *not* a derived-work of the kernel and thus, this licensing scheme is ok. In case you want to discuss this, email me with strong arguments, if possible with some which I haven't heard already. If you have special questions about the licensing of a specific part (be it an executable or whatever) of the firmware, feel free to email me. In case you aren't able to download any of the sources you need, contact me as well. We can send you a CD with all sources for the costs of production and handling. Kernelpatches are available here:ftp://ftp.de.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.9.tar.bz2 http://sources.dreamboxupdate.com/download/kernel-patches/linuxppc-2.6.9-r1.diff.bz2 http://sources.dreamboxupdate.com/download/kernel-patches/linuxppc-2.6.9-dream-s3.diff.bz2 DM7000: All userspace applications and utilities should be included in the tuxbox-cvs. Instructions for "checking out" files (aka. downloading them) are here: http://cvs.tuxbox.org/. You can also browse the repository. We do not provide snapshots - a cvs checkout is the only source for these files, as this reduces bandwidth (you can always update your local files). Note that the most convenient way to compile these files is using Linux. It might be possible with cygwin or other Unix-styled OS, but most developers are using Linux, so you're on your own if you're not using Linux. DM7020/DM7025/DM800/DM600PVR/DM500+/DM8000: All our changes reside in a branch in the OpenEmbedded repository (branchname is org.openembedded.dreambox). For detailed instructions on how to get them, please look at http://opendreambox.org. In case you *really* want a large single .tar.gz, get this (contains as well GPL as non-GPL stuff, individual licenses apply). It's a snapshot of everything used to build a recent image. I highly recommend using git to access the meta data instead.
