it's not. they still have not resolved the GPL violations of the
boot0/boot1 bootloader (although the source code of _one_ version of
the early boot0/boot1 code is available, it's not what they've
distributed), nor have they provided the full source code of the exact
configuration that was loaded onto the boards that they've sold
(although they've pointed at *someone else's* source code, they
haven't answered the question).
