PLiŽ announced today that it has made its world renowned PLiŽ software
for the DreamBox set top boxes available under a GPL License.
Another first from the Dutch development team and for us the end users.
PLiŽ headed by Peter Lindeman and a team of developers based in Holland,
Belguim and the USA, started to develop the PLiŽ software in 2004 when he
took over the development reigns from Ronaldd who retired from development
scene the same year. Peter has now build a team spanning the globe with
alpha and beta testers in Canada, Europe, Mexico, New Zealand, South
Pacific Islands, Thailand, and the USA and now you too can join in with
OpenPli.
The team did also pointed out that all development is done on a "love
for the hobby" model and all have full time jobs.
One of the senior PLiŽ developers said "When I started with dreambox
development, one of the main hurdles was the big difference between
tuxbox-cvs and the more advanced closed images. Opening the PLi
repository will certainly be a big incentive for individual developers to
start with dreambox development and contribute to better dreambox
software."
OpenPli is the public source repository for the PLiŽ software that runs on
the DM500, DM56x0, DM600, DM7000, DM7020, DM7025, DM800, DM8000
and shortly the DM500 HD series of set top boxes for Cable, Terrestrial
and Satellite TV and radio.
We will start with releasing our Enigma1 sources, Enigma2 will follow later...
