Complaint filed with Amazon.com
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I filed a complaint with AMAZON about Creality selling a product(s) (Ender 2 Pro and maybe others) without being in compliance with the Marlin Firmware Licensing Agreement. I sent them a copy of the Marlin License. I sent them a picture of the old v4.2.3 mainboard, which they did release the source code for under the licensing requirements, and a picture of the 2219 Creality Board with the HC32F460 CPU, which is what is now being sold in the Ender 2 Pro, and explained that they did not release the source code, which is in violation of the licensing agreement. Amazon has agreed to investigate the matter, and if they find Creality is in fact, in violation of any software/firmware licensing agreements, that any product which is in violation, will be pulled from the site.
I made the call myself and I got bounced around about 3 or 4 times before I was able to get connected with their legal department. After a long explanation, and emailing them copies of the pictures and the Marlin License, and explained how Creality was in violation, and that they were selling products in violation of the licensing, they started to take me seriously.
As I said before, this is now being investigated by Amazon's Legal Department, and their Consumer Affairs Department.
With this happening, maybe Creality will wake up and release the source code after having their 3D Printers yanked from the site.
这是否意味着编译我们自己的固件版本的源代码即将到来？
Does this mean the source code to compile our own versions of firmware is forth coming?
