See I disagree but only because that wiki is the reprap.org wiki which reprap is about open source. MKS has been, and forever will be, the opposite of open source so Reprap shouldn't give them a single line. Let their customers hurt, or find the info from the seller or some other way, and maybe they will get disgusted. Either way we shouldn't allow non open source information to be on a purely open source Wiki. I am not the one who labeled that page but apparently, like so much of the Wiki, it was forgotten about since we are very long past the ending date.Quote

Personally I think removing it just because it doesn't comply with open source is very silly
I look at it this way.
Are there repraps out their with this controller? yes
Does the page provide some information for them? yes
I find the statement "This page is found to exist for the sole purpose of Advertising" to be a incorrect statement.
So leave it marked as not open source, but leave it alone as it does contain some information that is useful for those who had the misfortune to get this controller
NB before someone clams different, I have nothing to do with MKS BASE and do not own any of these boards.

That is why I said to mention it BUT label it as closed source and any information needs to be had from the seller or the manufacturer.Quote

I also wouldn't remove these entries. It's a good opportunity to brand these boards as not open-source.
It already saved me from buying one of those boards.

Well, it is with the Chinese who do not believe in OS only stealing or w/e they wish to call it.Quote

... many OS supporters/developers leraned the "hard way", that publishing a DIY design open is an invitation for cloners to produce low quality copies and sell them for profit ... so actually it seems, the "OS spirit" is fading away on his own

Nope, his idea was for the printers to be self replicating or so he said on many many videos back when all of this came to be. You should go check them out sometime.Quote

... maybe your "RepRap-idea" is a different one, than Adrians
He thought to give any interested in 3D-printing the chance to DIY or get a cheap kit through a sort of "viral breed" - and this is not so far from the actual situation.
Even the "comercial" cheap 3D-printers are part of this "ecology" ...
