It's true. I've asked ELBOX guy.

No, We (or at least I) don't want it to be closed source. But the other
thing is that we have nothing to say :(

BTW. Primary developers of Linux APUS are asleep (if it isn't obvious
watch activity of linux-apus-devel ml). None of them have A1200,
so they won't help him so much.

APUS kernel in current state is almost unusable I don't think they're
really interested in developing support for mediator. I think it's their
game against "Prometeusz PCI Bridge" (also produced in Poland).
