The bootloader is not part of android, it os Motors own creation.

calm down sam. we already requested the source through the official method (the sourceforge project) . lots of people asked it on the official forums. we will get it sooner or later
According to GPL the person who made the modifications can set the method for the request. the "official" nethod is to write the letter not to troll forums, that is just an extra entry point. i suggest you folks begin writing letters the adress is on the OP

see sam? No need to go Rambo on moto's asses. Looks like they "got the hint" last time. i also "subtlety" told them to make sure the release can compile and doesn't have bugs like some of their releases
now, if only they released an official unlock...

Lets hope. I'm itching for cm7 after leaving my inspire (luckily 2 days before the bootloader unlock was released haha)

gb source by 7/29
So with the official 4.5.91 finally being populated to everyone through regular channels (not our awesome quicker than the maker methods). We gain the right to demand from motorola to release the source, as according to GPL, if someone ask for the source they must release it.
Thanks joe for finding all the info on the specific lincese

Q: Why should I care if moto releases the source or not?
A: Do you want AOSP rom, and CM7, maybe MIUI. all of this are dependent on the source. otherwise is super mega complicated to create them. And available source guarantees more devs.
So what is the plan?
Simple, the plan is to demand the source, a lot, A LOT! So they dont pull the same stunt they did with 4.1.83 update. The source for that became available last week!
So we are going to do this 2 ways! The official way, and the troll way.
The official method to request source is by writing a letter to motorola mobile to the following address.
Motorola Mobility, INC.
OSS Management
600 North US hwy 45
Libertyville, IL
60048, USA
The letter of course:
I ___________ write to request the release of the source code for the following software:
The 4.5.91 firmware update for motorola Atric 4g, the webtop included in the update, and any particular software included in this update that follows GPL licensing.
The second method, the troll way. Is simply to flood the motorola forums and requested there!
Tell everyone about this effort, we need source code right away!
