NETGEAR Open Source Code for Programmers (GPL)

[Neegan07]

I was looking for D7000 nighthawk source code

http://kb.netgear.com/2649/NETGEAR-Open-Source-Code-for-Programmers-GPL

the page is void

Is there another location ?

Hello Neegan07

That page works just fine for me.

It's blank for me as well (see below):

Try another browser this is what I see.

I just tried again and it's working. Maybe there was something cached that finally got flushed.  Thanks for your help.

The GPL page has gone blank again.

Indeed, not working.

Could this be related?

"If you would like a copy of the GPL source code contained in this product shipped to you on a USB Flash Drive for a charge of $20, which is no more than the cost of preparing and shipping the USB Flash Drive to you, please contact opensourcesw@netgear.com."

?!!?!?!?!?!!?

Even if you send an email to this address it will be refused, reporting that your email address it's not accepted / allowed.

I'm not really interested to buy it, but getting it / download it for free.

Whitelisting "script.google.com" in the ad blocker seemed to unblank that page for me. You may need to whitelist "script.googleusercontent.com" as well, but I did not need to do so explicitly.

Brilliant! Looking for Open Source while using crappy ad-blockers. Open Spource developers can make their life from ads, from sponsoring by businesses placing ads. ne day people understand that blocking ads can and will be the end of "free" Open Source, of "free" services.

[danielg4]

"Brilliant" here is the conflation of free as in "free speech" with free as in "free beer." The GPL was never intended to prevent charging money for services, and in the long run, it gets people to spend more money on services because they are more "free" to do so. Additionally, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has done more for freedom than developers have done, created one of your "crappy ad-blockers" called Privacy Badger, which blanks the page in question by default.
