You might’ve noticed the EU and Latvian flags in our recent brochures. Over 50% of our products are already made in the EU — and that number’s growing.
We’re bringing production closer to home to ensure quality, supply chain security, and transparency.
It’s not just a label. It’s a promise. 🇱🇻🇪🇺
@mikrotik@mikrotik.social @mikrotik@lemmy.world how about actually making them open-source? At least the OS.
Routeros is based on linux, but afaik mikrotik only shares the source via email. A user set up an automation to send an email for new sources for each new routeros releases, and publishes the replies to this repo: https://github.com/tikoci/mikrotik-gpl
If you don’t trust this repo you can also email mikrotik support and they should send you their kernel modifications. More info in this thread: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=215585
@infeeeee you mean mikrotik are sharing only whatever part of their OS they are forced by the GPL to share and only when explicitly petitioned to? How about releasing the entirety of Router OS under an open-source license so that we don’t need to flash alternative operating systems on their hardware?
GPL does not define how you should share it, just you have to share it some way.
I’m just emphasizeing, that they are following the license requirements, unlike some other manufacturers who doesn’t even share they required to, anything else should be a plus and it’s their decision.
I guess if the full stack would be foss they couldn’t really sell CHR and other software only licenses anymore.
