Just throwing my voice on top of the pile of those who'd like to see the actual source code published to Github instead of just binary blobs in releases. Thank you

KaurinI will copy/paste what I've written to support:
Hi,
As per your policy, you are offering refunds for products that are "not-as-advertised"
Rama has marketed the programmable keyboard as "Fully open source": https://rama.works/#/m10-a/
This is not true.
They only use GitHub to publish the binary blobs (derivative of the source code), which prohibits users from contributing and discussing issues.
I am not requesting a refund yet, but I urge you to ask Rama to publish the actual source code on their github page: https://github.com/MachineIndustries/configurator
If this is not done within a few days, I'll be requesting a full refund under "not as advertised" option.
Thank you.

KaurinI definitely would like to know how this goes. It's pretty useless to me until I can actually program it with the full QMK. Hell, if they can provide the matrix pinout (row/column pins) for this thing, I'd be happy to try adding it to the official QMK repository myself.

KaurinHey @Kaurin - The M10-A is fully open source, enclosure designs, electrical schematics and board layouts are available and open. On the firmware side, the board uses the open-source LUFA DFU bootloader, uses the QMK keyboard firmware which is all fully open-source, and the matrix layout file will be in the QMK repository shortly if our pull request is accepted. If you wanted to, you'd be able to build a fully functional M10-A from those resources and it'd be identical to the Massdrop version (aside from the Rama/Machine/Massdrop logos being stripped from the enclosure for copyright reasons)
While we never originally promised in our advertising that the configurator and compiler would be open source, we figured we'd throw down the gauntlet and make it open when we're happy with it. The codebase is untidy right now and we're not happy with opening it up at the moment, we'll open-source it at our discretion when we have the time - we'll likely put it out there quite soon though :)
