Note

Earlier versions of the snom 100 were shipped with binaries from linuxppc.org, for which the source code is unfortunately no longer available. Therefore, the source codes listed here lack the MPC (a PowerPC variant) patches. It has been switched to the LinuxPPC Cross Development Kit (CDK), which is available from http://www.denx.de.

Source code

Source code of a programme that is made publicly available. The idea behind this is that a wider circle of programmers will develop more usable code with fewer bugs because more people will review it. Open source makes it possible to modify the code for one's own needs, rather than hoping that the producer of a copyrighted programme will incorporate user suggestions into a later version of the programme. Examples of popular open source programmes are the Linux operating system (GNU) and the Apache web server. For more information, see www.opensource.org.

GNU

The GNU project was started in 1984 to develop a free (no-cost) Unix-like operating system: the GNU System. GNU is a recursive abbreviation of "GNU's Not Unix!", pronounced "Dji-NJUH". Variants of the GNU System based on the Linux kernel are widespread. Although these systems are often simply called "Linux", the term "GNU/Linux systems" is more accurate.  www.gnu.org
