@alec@perkins.pub are meshtastic and the 2 meshcores compatible?
Is there any of these that don’t have proprietary software?

@linux_mclinuxface@fosstodon.org there is only one MeshCore firmware—which to be clear is open source and MIT licensed. The split (as of now) is at the higher level organization, which website and discord are “official”. This split literally just happened this morning and I think people are still waking up to it. Meshtastic and MeshCore use a lot of the same hardware but are not compatible with each other. I don’t know of any closed-source Meshtastic pieces given the GPL nature of its protobuf library.
