The Simputer - Back again (TekCentral)

TekCentral takes a look at the Simputer. "A little fact that Cnet neglected to mention was that all the information required to manufacture the product is available under the Simputer Trust's own hardware license, the SGPL. As the name suggests, the license is inspired by the GNU GPL. The SGPL differs in many ways though, the main way is that if you use the information for a commercial product you must make a one-off payment to the Simputer Trust ($25,000 for devloping countries and $250,000 for developed countries)."
