I wonder, if that SOC used on this board is going to be as "easily" sourc=
eable
as it's the Omap4 on Pandaboard. Or it's meant to be sourced in the huge

Ditto.

And I sometimes wonder, which company is going to trademark some of the
buzzwords around the "free/open/community" first or even patent some kind=
 of
"free/open/community" work flow :-)

Good to know, I was wondering last week, what is that Loco board in the L=
inux
kernel tree :-)
