And those will be the people who will deserve the cards, then offer you support and encouragement.

I have 5 blank TF536 boards left which I will build up at some point but would prefer them to go to trusted members of the community too now.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Seems the best way to reward loyal forum members too!

I'm glad to have bought mine off a fellow forum member & have had great support when I've needed it :D

I feel that it makes the whole community stronger

This whole thing is just because someone is having a tantrum because he cannot get a Tf1260. He's demanding that people fix things because "its the law". Well i didnt manufacture his board, i didnt sell it to him and i'm not a business. If you want to try and assert that I am then spend your money to get a court to make a judgement. Until a court says otherwise you are wrong.

Even if I was liable to fix this the law gives me six months to do so which has not elapsed. Plus he has had a refund so case closed.

This person is the worst example of how bad the Amiga community is. If you are a seller please witness what will happen if you sell to this person and take appropriate measures to cover yourself.

Ironically that won't be Open Source any more :D (well it least it wouldn't fall under the OSD of Open Source). More of a "Source Available" license (I've had to deal with way too much legal stuff over this in the last couple of decades).

I know @jaycee_1980 and the past similar crap he has had to go through. I see this crap happening here and on social media too. Kinda crushes me that you all have to go through it. It is certainly making me more cautious about how I release my own stuff.

I personally couldnt care less :) Besides, at least im being explicit about it unlike GPLv3 which just does it by tying people's hands.

My motivation would be it would be open for other people to learn from, and for sensible people to build for themselves and enjoy. People trying to make money off the back of my work can GTFO

With some of these comments it feels like it needs to be mentioned that there are many successful open source projects out there where people can collaborate, learn and are enabled to extend to the benefit of all. That's exactly what got me interested in these boards a couple of years ago when that seemed to be the goal, the knowledge and enablement. We wouldn't have cool things like Minimig, Mister FPGA to name a couple and the many open projects popping up if it wasn't for the open nature.

Letting people build their own takes care of these few unfortunate actors, they are welcome to fix anything they don't like, if they start demanding things they just make themselves look silly.

This is one of the reasons why I don't sell the stuff I've made. It's really sad that the minority ruins for the majority, but this seems to be common these days (cancel culture, hate speech etc.).

Only reason why I've asked questions here is to try to learn how stuff works, and maybe I can make my own stuff later with this knowledge in mind.

I've learned so much since I stumbled over your first projects. I've learned how to solder SMD components (even bought a microscope), I've learned how to program CPLDs and ARMs, I've learned how to read and debug Verilog source code and how to make my own PCBs with both Kicad and Eagle. Heck, I've even written and compiled my first Amiga program spawned from your TF5xx projects (my external relocator project).

After building TF328, TF330, TF534, 4x TF536 and 2x CD32 Riser boards for my own use, and I've dared making a ReAmiga 1200 and a A4000TX. All this thanks to you, so thank you very much for sparking this interest and giving me a hobby in these trying times.

Only advice I can give is try to rise above people acting like a-holes and ignoring those leeches. They will always be around, but if you don't give them too much attention they will hopefully wither and die. The most important thing is to do what you want to do and to enjoy yourself in the process. As soon as you feel that your hobby becomes a chore then you should probably find something else to do. A hobby is about meditation. An escape from your normal day stuff. At least it is for me. Thank you very much for your contribution to the Amiga community! <3

Well, I am firmly sure that the GPL has explicitly been designed the way it is. At least as soon as I had to select for the first time a licence to publish my work, it was well explained by the gnu site and it was explicit in their intent with the licence. The same with their coined stance of "Free (as freedom) software" vs "Open source"

The one point that is not well underlined for a developer at first, and leads to confusion and then disappointment is that the GPL is user's freedom-centric, whereas so-called "Open Source" is developer's freedom-centric.

Sorry for this off-topic, I like too much spreading my "once in a lifetime" enlightenment :D lol.
