Techically, it’s the license that determines whether something goes into free or not.

The license information in the packages is:

All files under po/ are licensed under the terms of BSD. (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php)
All files under pphw/ are licensed under the terms of GPL. (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt)
Other files are licensed under the terms of the GNU LGPL. (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.php)


That means it really is for the free repository. How on Earth do they expect that someone will not just strip the limitations and republish, I have no idea (this is not even remotely questionable, unlike, say, the FMTX issue).

I showed my WorldTV99 to my Chinese friends with HK, China streamings, they are quite impressed. The one for may sum bakery is in cantonese speaking.

why should they only disable it instead of removing it....

Because removing and replacing the chip would require a significant effort. Which means one of two things is true:

- It's disabled in software, which means flashing a non-HK kernel and loading 3rd party software will enable it.

- It's disabled in hardware, in which case you're SOL.

I suspect it's in software, and people will have it unofficially working shortly after release.

I think the title of the thread should end with "PR1.2 built-in and some extra goodies missing"
