Joojoo ripped for another failing, this time it’s a GPL violation
Oh, Fusion Garage… Lately it seems the only good news which surfaces about your JooJoo tablet is the result of someone who doesn’t work for you doing something awesome with it — like installing Windows 7 on it.
Developer Matthews Garrett recently got the chance to spend some time with the JooJoo, and apart from his concerns about hardware oversights (which include a display which is connected upside-down, poor ACPI implementation, and generally shoddy coding) he’s got some serious concerns about their decision to not release source code.
The JooJoo runs a modified Ubuntu OS, after all, so they should be making the source available in order to play nice with Canonical’s licensing requirements. Garrett decided to email Fusion Garage about the GPL issue and was told to be patient.
