Why do you assume that i am talking about Mali? Where did that come from? libnand is allwinner code, because we have seen an earlier version of it. We need to see all versions of it. We know that our older libnand is killing newer nand contents. I am wasting my time playing with livesuit on tracking that down now. CedarX includes GPLed code, the symbols list clearly proves that. But let me go dig that out _again_ and properly stick it in the wiki, as, as usual, no-one else seems to bother. As for libisp, that appeared in the kernel as well, so let me go dig that out completely as well. These are things that, whether Allwinner owns them or not, simply cannot ignored, and it is up to allwinner to resolve them. For those who hadn't bothered to look on the wiki: http://linux-sunxi.org/GPL_Violations I _will_ now go do the legwork there as well.
