So this is a Linux base, yet ships with proprietary modules. I thought that was against the GPL?

No, it is not. The libraries used are mostly LGPL (which allows such linking). Please don't turn this forum into another license spree. This is the last comment I allow on licensing. Please reply only if you have something to say or ask about the device and its apps.
