Member #288413 / about 6 months ago / 1 Honestly not sure why the community would spend effort with a very proprietary solution like this where the actual communications components are only available from one company and not open. There is a perfectly good fully open alternative now to long distance IoT communications. Google: LoRaWAN Member #422414 / about 6 months ago / 1 LoRa is also proprietary. There are just more vendors licensing it. Member #1272652 / about 6 months ago * / 1 Before "Open Source" was a thing, "Open" meant: vendor-neutral technology standards and certifications. As in work done by the Open Group, which certifies Unix, etc. etc. with a membership of over 500 companies. I don't think the original poster went to back to edit his comment but as it is now, he uses the phrase "VERY proprietary." There is a large spectrum between suing every possible threat for possible trademark infringement, and CopyLeft, which theoretically should be as legally enforceable as Copyright, but in reverse. Actually Open Source groups recognized the subtleties when they rejected Gnu Free Software restrictions and accepted MIT licenses and BSD licenses, etc. I'm still grateful for "Free Software" zealots, as they fight for things like non-proprietary boot firmware, which RPi unfortunately has, as almost every PC. I'd like to see Libre Computer Boards at Sparkfun. I hope they catch on. START SOMETHING.
