You have the first two of those; I believe Martin Guy found at least
some email addresses; our discussion seems to indicate that we are
looking at GPL violations on both GCC and GNU binutils; and of
course, the sources are completely missing.
The FSF collects reports at: license-violat...@gnu.org
Not even a COPYING file, just binary blobs of GCC and LLVM
It could do bitcoin mining for all we know
Fun... not only is the source completely missing but there is also no
copy of the license in the distribution. So that makes two violations
off the checklist.
business@ and hr@ are given at the bottom of spacemit.com
and there is phone number too. I didn't find an address but
as they are a (big!) registered company it must be findable.
In their Privacy Policy it says; "If you have any questions,
comments, suggestions or complaints about our policies
and the handling of your personal information,
please send an email to [*busin...@spacemit.com*] [...]
and we will reply within 14 days" so I guess that's the one.
Who wants to be the first to make an enemy of spacemit, or
shall we send a circularly-signed letter from the compile farm users?
I suggest handing the matter off to the FSF; they promise to start with
a nice letter and escalate from there if needed.
I would have quietly sent it to license-violat...@gnu.org but I did not
want the FSF to get a big stack of reports if others had the same idea
to quietly send it and it looks like the point-of-contact if FSF needs
more information may need to be someone who can read Chinese.
Or should the report to the FSF be a circularly-signed letter from the
compile farm users? (i.e. Reply-To: cfarm-users)
Golly, love and do what you want, but don't ever upset the cfarm-users!
