>> Oh, and it has an interesting license that forbids you from using it on non-Raspberry Pi hardware.

Does that mean you can't use the Pi as a dev board for the SoC and then build a product based on that? Or I suppose you'd license the video driver when you go to buy the SoC for production?




It does, but chances are Broadcom won't sell you the SoC either so it matters less than you think. I expect it's mostly just aimed at anyone who attempts to re-purpose existing hardware based on the same Broadcom SoC.
