There is also Likebook that similarly violates the GPL.
I don't think a computing prison is preferable to an OSS breach. A device with an open bootloader that will take whatever code you give it is always infinitely preferable to restrictive computing.
Or non-existent of course, as the previous poster suggests and I stated I find quite believable.

Fully closed but correctly licensed (their own work and/or correctly licensed software from other sources) is preferable to taking OSS and breaching the licenses. It is at least more honest.
