You might’ve noticed the EU and Latvian flags in our recent brochures. Over 50% of our products are already made in the EU — and that number’s growing.

We’re bringing production closer to home to ensure quality, supply chain security, and transparency.
It’s not just a label. It’s a promise. 🇱🇻🇪🇺
@infeeeee you mean mikrotik are sharing only whatever part of their OS they are forced by the GPL to share and only when explicitly petitioned to? How about releasing the entirety of Router OS under an open-source license so that we don't need to flash alternative operating systems on their hardware?
GPL does not define how you should share it, just you have to share it some way.
I'm just emphasizeing, that they are following the license requirements, unlike some other manufacturers who doesn't even share they required to, anything else should be a plus and it's their decision.
I guess if the full stack would be foss they couldn't really sell CHR and other software only licenses anymore.
@infeeeee I did not argue that they are breaking the GPL or that there are other companies that are breaking it.
I argue that in their essence @mikrotik are hostile to open source.
And here is my chance to correct you that selling software is not against the GPL or other open-source licenses. They may sell whatever they like, just as long as its source is included under an open-source license.
They can sell just support as well, I bet you their primarily-shitty-ISP clientele will still buy.
