BMW complies with GPL by handing over i3 car code
BMW has sent Terence Eden a DVD containing GPL-licenced code used in its electric i3 model .
Why should you care? Because Oxford resident Eden last month inadvertently caused something of a global stir when he pondered the quality of the i3's software and the security of BMW's update mechanisms. Along the way he noticed that the i3's on-board “About” screen mentioned it uses some GPL-licenced code and idly wondered if the auto-maker complies with the licence.
