As much as the Boox is great, they have a lot of GPL issues. Plus the kernel they are using is very very closed sourced. Sounds like FUD, but I am generally quite wary of companies in China that do this
Was just gearing up to type this. Onyx is a known GPL abuser and won't get a cent from me unless and until they fix that. Chinese company or otherwise, the FOSS community is clearly going to have to help support GPL when the courts can't or won't.
That sucks! Well, there are other notetaking e-ink devices out there which I hope are compliant with the GPL. ReMarkable is good for notetaking but I have heard it is not much use for actual reading. There is Supernote and Bouye Likebook which support notes as well. I'm not sure of their license compliance though, all I'm saying is that there are other options for those wanting that kind of device.
I am not a lawyer, so take this with the grain of salt it needs.
Can’t the FSF or other entity file an injunction against the company from selling in other countries by filing the lawsuit with said countries? Based on copyright infringement/licensing infringement (not sure here it would fall)
Again, Not a lawyer, but I feel like corporations have done this in the past
