I asked Sony to "release the code" and they referred me to "Android" and not even Google lol.

Replied to state they are in breach of licensing agreements until they do provide this and that i will be registering a complaint to state such.

Is [email protected] from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html the appropriate place to complain. The more people we get the more chance they have to comply.
Untill this moment the date and time for releasing the Kernel source code is still yet unknown, please be informed that it will be announced on our website once it became available.

Pathetic but entirely predictable...

Would potentially contacting google directly be at all a help? I mean since it's their codes being "stolen" if you will, perhaps they would have something to say about it.. plus they have more money to back themselves :D

BUT, I must say... I feel asthough a company as big as Sony, when using another big name corperations codes, would have found some sneaky little clause in the terms of use, or changed something in some small way, that legally it is now "theirs" due to adding their own intellectual property, giving them the right to keep it as closed source. This is obviously pure speculation, and I truly hope I'm far from true, but I certainly wouldn't be getting my hopes too high :(

I had download the source code as long as at 11 december 2011. I think it`s there a long time before that.

Nice; so they released it, but are directing people away from it lol (probably because they people answering the questions have no idea what's being asked).
