Quoted from "m0rphU"

Only enigma2 c++ code is closed source now.

Quoted from "Jeroensky"

How about the old kernel, and outdated drivers? (with examples: no ext4 filesystem support, no blindscan and so on)
Since the enigma2 developer is away from Dream Multimedia it's all standing still. That is also a reason why people don't want a Dreambox anymore. (not the expensive price).

Only enigma2 c++ code is closed source now.

So software code under GPL licenses is now closed source by Dream Multimedia.

EEh, does the Free Software Foundation know this?
Because it's illegal what Dream Multimadia does here, violating GPL licenses.

The 'enigma2 core' is licensed under a proprietary license.
...
Additionally, this license allows Dream Multimedia to change terms of this license. If you don't like a change in this license, you are free to derive a GPL version from a previous version, of course.

The 'enigma2 core' is licensed under a proprietary license.

The 'enigma2 core' contains all files in this sourcetree except plugins in
lib/python/Plugins which carry their own LICENSE file. Those plugins are
licensed under their own license.

This proprietary license does not allow you to compile, modify or do
anything with this sources. You are allowed, however, to distribute
an unmodified version of the sources, including all license statements.

Additionally, this proprietary license will essentially allow you one thing:

You are free to take *THIS* version of enigma2, and derive a version
which will be licensed under the GPLv2. If you're doing this,
be sure to insert proper licencening statements to ensure that it
doesn't get mixed up with the proprietary version.

The derived version can be, of course, modified, distributed etc. in
modified forms, however, you have to publish all changes you made in
source form if you are distributing a binary version. Exact details
can be read in the GPLv2.

If you wish do send us patches to be included in the "official
sourcetree", which will be based on the proprietary license, you have to
agree that your code will be licensed under the proprietary license.

Note that "official sourcetree" just means the version which is
included in the main developer CVS hosted at, or on behalf of,
Dream Multimedia.

And I believe it's better cuz you have outed the level of knowledge you have, lack of understanding the previous license that is.

Quoted from "babsy98"

danke ich hab ne SH4 Box, das wars nun

Quoted from "Reichi"

Form what i know: Basically yes and no.
The python-source will still be available. But the c(++) core will be closed source from now on. The headers are are still available though (so one can develop c++-based extensions).
