> Majestic code while is not open, provides unprecedented performance and capabilities for a wide range of hardware. The author of Majestic streamer is looking into possibilities to open-source the codebase after he secures enough funds to support further open development. You can help to make it happen sooner.

I can't find that text anywhere on the page (the word "Majestic" literally doesn't appear anywhere).

It's right before the "Why OpenIPC Firmware?" headline.

That comes after this:

> OpenIPC Firmware uses Buildroot to build its Linux distro, and utilizes either Majestic, Mini or Venc streamer.

Which makes it sound like Majestic isn't required? Or is it the only good option, or something?

I checked the repos for those alternatives. They state that they are not as feature-complete, nor as widely supported, as Majestic is.
