On: Google Glass kernel GPL source

[ibrahima]

I don't know specifically about the drivers in Glass but it's based on the pretty old TI OMAP4 platform which was in the Galaxy Nexus, and I think out of the SoC manufacturers TI is (well, was, since they stopped making OMAP) the most open by far.

They'll be IMGTec blobs for the SGX GPU then

edit/clarification: These won't be blobs in the kernel but they'll be IMGTec binary libraries. So in practice it's slightly less annoying for kernel hacking.

Right, the PVR driver kernel component is GPL. It's the userspace that is proprietary.
