Samsung : We are preparing new open source server

[erdem_ua]

Hi, I have mailed samsung about open source server. Here is the mail:

Hi Samsung,
This is SamyGO Project founder, as you well know, community for Samsung TV's and fixing that TV's issues for free as far as we can.

We noticed that you are removed open source files from online. Could I learn that real reason of why Samsung make such an act? Or Do you changed your Open Source server? Could I learn new server address? How could I reach those files?

A users told us that you pulled files because you cannot afford distributing this sources reliably. Is it true? I heard that you are facing transmission failures. I am really sad about situation that a company like Samsung cannot afford distributing their GPL'ed sources. I thought Samsung big and strong company that don't have a problem before... So I decide to help you to distribute this sources for you and FREE.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about releasing those open source codes under GPL license.
Kindly Regards,
Erdem U. Altinyurt

and the answer is:

[SAMSUNG OSRC COMMENTS DELIVERY NOTIFICATION]
Dear Erdem U. Altinyurt,

First of all, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
We are currently preparing new downloadable web server in these days because of the inconvenience of the
previous web page. Please wait for a few days.
When server construction and testing is done, we could provide open source package through new system.
In case of an urgent request, we can provide source code with CD-ROM for a customer charge covering the cost of performing distribution,
such as the cost of media, shipping and handling as stated in license notice.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about open source request.

Kindly Regards,

Hi there,

within exeDSP I found references to third party libraries. Amongst others they are libmad (http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/) and libtomcrypt (http://libtom.org/). E.g. libmad is GPL'd, but I could not find this software in the open source release at the Samsung website. Did I overlook something? And second question: shouldn't Samsung make exeDSP also open source, when they link in GPL'd stuff?

Cheers,
SM

From libmad homepage:

Commercial, non-GPL licensing is also available. Please contact us to discuss possible license terms.

libtomcrypt is public domain, so they can use it in exeDSP like they want.

You need original firmware to hack with SamyGO.
Since there is licensing issues we don't put any firmwares to our pages. But you can find your "older" firmwares that compatible with Samygo from wiki pages...
