Unfortunately the primary apps and the firmware for some devices is proprietary. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth for a project like this.

What devices? People are free to licence their apps however they wish. There's four entirely separate firmwares for my companion that vary from fully open to fully closed and paid

I believe the T-deck firmware is proprietary.

And I realise that people can license their apps however they want, I'm just saying the main apps endorsed by the project are proprietary.

There's several proprietary tdeck firmwares endorsed by the project like meshos and ripple. Like all the other companions there's open source firmware available and you're free to work on your own too
