Asus resolves Eee GPL violation, releases code, announces SDK

Last week, software developer Cliff Biffle wrote a blog post pointing out certain discrepancies in the source code archive made available by Asus for the Linux-based software platform distributed on the Eee PC.

According to Biffle, the 1.8GB archive made available online by Asus following the launch of the Eee PC did not include changes made by the company to the asus_acpi kernel module. Failing to provide the public with access to those changes could potentially constitute a violation of the General Public License (GPL), the open source license under which the Linux kernel is distributed. Asus is also announcing an SDK for the Eee PC. Read the rest of the write up at Ars Technica.
