What the fuck LMAO

The device runs Linux. If you do not want to get the source by mail, you can get it from here:

@sbiewald HOLY SHIT

How is that surprising though?

@Maer still kinda weird that they would write it on paper, it sorta amuses me

that's from a router - not THAT unexpected.

I had a bunch (not ONE -- a BUNCH) of similar notes like that when I bought my oven-microwave. It's been ~3 years and I'm still wondering how come...

@netikras it’s... a Bluetooth receiver.

A small dongle.

IT RUNS FUCKING LINUX.

@OmerFlame Well SIM cards run Java. It's not that surprising.

We are the Linux

@OmerFlame binaries in modern distros still say to snail mail them and they'll send back a copy of the GPL, or "email OR mail to" in some cases.

This isn't terribly surprising, and is a nice touch, since it was, y'know, ACTUALLY INCLUDED.

@OmerFlame That's literally part of the license's terms. They're actually doing the right thing here, astonishingly.

@junon I’ll request the source via snail mail, I wanna see it come from aaaaall the way from the HQ to Israel lmao

@OmerFlame Do it and update us, I'd love to see it. You'd be probably one of the last people to ever do it as the GPL is slowly dying.

@junon is it?!

@OmerFlame Yes. Most of OSS is using other libre licenses. GPL still has a large market share but low share of new projects using it, indicating its adoption is lessening
