A major announcement: IRIX-32 Kernel Project

RE: A major announcement: IRIX-32 Kernel Project
Small update:

I'm still searching for a crowdfunding website and I've started reaching out to a few of them to see which would permit our project being hosted. I'm not having much luck but I will figure out something I'm sure. The big ones are off the table even after reaching out personally.

There was a concern raised by someone on Reddit and I wanted to clarify some past comments:

1. Yes, I do have a copy of IRIX 6.5's kernel source. Unfortunately I'm unwilling to leak it because of legal counsel's prior suggestions. No amount of internet lawyering or offers to take my copy will change my mind. Nothing I have is particularly novel, as to my recollection it was just a partial copy of a later kernel with no graphics or other code that is of value.

2. We are not looking at this time to do anything with 6.5 it's simply not financially viable. The scope of the operating system is far wider than 5.3's and simply not viable.

3. This project is focused on doing things the right way. I'm not here to do things in a half-assed manner that will get me or anyone else prosecuted for copyright infringement and I want to ensure the future of IRIX.

I'm the system admin of this site. Private security technician, licensed locksmith, hack of a c developer and vintage computer enthusiast.

https://codeberg.org/SolusRaion -- Code repos I control

Technical problems should be sent my way.
