Amazon Releases Kindle Linux Source Code
Amazon has announced the release of the source code for all their Kindle products. The basic underpinnings are Linux kernel 2.6.22that includes E-ink drivers, Kindle-specific hardware drivers, and probably some other Kindle-specific hardware patches. There are no specific licenses mentioned on the page but it should be safe to assume all of the code is released under the GPL since all of the modified packages are also GPL and Amazon isn’t releasing these as binary modules/blobs.
Congrats to Amazon for coming through with a major free software source code release! Hopefully the community puts this to good use to build some open source ebook readers
