    Why would you need to “root” it?

    You should just be able to just install from a unknown source

    Edit: you did

      Maybe it is just the circles I run, but any Android hacking/opening still carries the “rooting” connotation, even if it’s not the fundamental access rooting purely refers to.

    That’s cool. I wonder if that violates any non commercial use licensing. Keeping in mind I don’t know what kind of license it is, just wondering since a fair amount of people know it off the top of their head.

      Even if it had such a clause, what part of installing home entertainment software on your personal device counts as commercial use to you?

        I had originally made the comment prior to OP clarifying that it’s about rooting.

        I thought that NordicTrak was shipping them with Jellyfin and using it as the video feed for exercises to follow. Thus Commercial use.

        However looks like the GPLv2 is cool with it even if it was happening they way I had though.

      It’s the GPLv2 which doesn’t disallow commercial usage.
