Question about contradictions about closed-sourcedness of H2 and H3 in "Mayhem-Firmware" project and Shao's "portapack-havoc-modified" project. #26

Ahoj,

I have made out some contradictions between the claims of your project "portapack-havoc-modified", @jamesshao8, and between the claims of the "Mayhem-Firmware" project, @portapack-mayhem.

I wish to have clarification on this discrepancies in order to have them resolved (at least for me).

In detail, the discrepancies are about the closed-sourcedness of the "H2" and "H3", where the "portapack-havoc-modified" project claims that H2 is closed source, but the "Mayhem-Firmware" project provides open source firmware for it and claims the opposite, and @portapack-mayhem claims your project is closed source but you claim the opposite:

"Mayhem" firmware's Wiki says about the H3:

Uses custom close source firmware. Not compatible with Mayhem. Do not buy or support as it's a scam

The H2 is said to be compatible.

While the "portapack-havoc-modified" project by @jamesshao8 says about the H2:

No for H2 (close source, Do not buy or support)

and says the H3 is supported by that firmware.

The "Mayhem" firmware is open source as far as I see, so the statement "close source" in the "portapack-havoc-modified" firmware by @jamesshao8 seems wrong.

But the "portapack-havoc-modified" firmware by @jamesshao8 also seems to be open source, so the statement "close source firmware" in the "Mayhem" firmware's Wiki also seems to be wrong.

Can you bring clarity to this?

I also asked this at the "Mayhem" firmware project, and there is a discussion on reddit, too.

(The "portapack-havoc-modified" firmware by @jamesshao8 seems much less been cared of and not updated for years (except the README.md), so to me it looks the "Mayhem" firmware is more maintained anyway.)

Regards!
