Yeah, I got that too. I was looking at all the documentation that came
with my KDSR50XBR1, and found a French version (I'm in Canada) of a
license. I was going to toss it aside, but then noticed that GPL was
written out in French. I didn't realize what it was until a I read a
little further and some F/OSS libraries were listed. I was absolutely
floored.
When I pick up my PS3, I'm slapping a PPC Linux distro on it. I'll be
running even more F/OSS in my house.
It's pretty neat, actually.
Regards,
Ranbir
