Reading things about closed-source Mali.
Also, is Olimex currently shipping given coronavirus?
There some binary blobs for the video in the current releases but you are not forced to use these images - we never said anything else and it is pretty clear in the sources that we published. If you don't need hardware acceleration or video-heavy tasks you can use a custom image without such acceleration. Most people want to test their hardware to the fullest and then switch to their favorite Linux flavor.
We are working on newer Linux releases for all our Allwinner boards without such blobs.
We are shipping but it all depends on status of the country and the carrier. We work with DHL and UPS, so check their posts here, these pages detail which countries are currently unavailable:
