A token of goodwill for compliance with GPL. If they actually cared about the community they would share the spec for Xochitl docs and such. Instead some blessed few in the discord know people at the company and get some info through back channels for the UI bits and the rest is cobbled together reverse engineering. Some people seem fine with that but coupled with their robo-law firm sending C&D takedowns to community sites where people share content they have created for reMarkable™ tablets and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Glad others have had better experiences.

Are you sure you aren't confusing Remarkable with something else? I have never heard of them sending C&D letters, nonetheless to community sites.

Searching for this I could find only a single example from 4 years ago where they sent a C&D to remarkable-explorer.com. Aside from the copyright issues, this site seemed to be using non-public APIs and asking the user to enter authorization tokens directly on it. I don't have all the facts but I'm not surprised this would be problematic.
