Hi Hal, Thanks for bringing this up. I've added it to the agenda of the next coreboot leadership meeting to discuss how we want to handle this.
I'll reach out to the SFC again to see what we should expect in cases like this.

Hello,
Meraki provided the coreboot source code for the MX84 on 2022-12-09.
I have uploaded the MX84 coreboot source code provided by Meraki to GitHub: https://github.com/halmartin/coreboot-mx84
The coreboot source code for the MX250 still has not been provided.
Kind regards, Hal

Hello,
Several Cisco Meraki products (MX84, MX250) are using the coreboot bootloader. Meraki are also distributing coreboot builds for these products via their update mechanism.
In October 2021, I requested the corresponding coreboot source code for the MX84 from open-source@meraki.com. Another individual requested the coreboot source code for the MX250 around the same time. We own the devices in quesiton.
To date, Meraki have not provided the source code or provided an explanation as to the delay in providing the source code. The last reply I received was in January, and they have not replied to any of my follow up requests.
As coreboot is GPL licensed software, I wanted to inform the coreboot community that I believe Cisco Meraki are not acting in good faith and are, in my opinion, violating the GPL by not providing the coreboot source code upon request.
Kind regards, Hal Martin _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- coreboot@coreboot.org To unsubscribe send an email to coreboot-leave@coreboot.org
