STOP GPLv2 VIOLATION

[ErnyTech]

Once again oneplus has violated the GNU GPLv2! But this time I will not be watching! I want to act, I'm fed up with the lack of source code!
I wrote issues in kernel repos (linux) for Oneplus 5

Link issues: https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8998/issues/8

In the next few hours I will contact Torvalds!

Not updated

4.5.7 might not have required kernel changes...

Also the owner of the kernel has a few days to post it.. Usually after the update has completely rolled out.

Two things.

First might want to have a look at what Linus has said before about it, before he hurts your feelings.

Second. Good luck really doing anything. As OnePlus is out of China nothing anyone can do will make a difference.

I am not saying it is right, just giving you a heads up.

I was told by a kernel developer the company/person has 30 days from the full roll out of the update to update the kernel source. I think you need to learn about GPL licensing. One+ has done a great job at releasing source even though some commits are squashed together.

No they released only once 5.1.1 (i think that was also leaked) for Redmi note 3, after that they never updated them.

He is wrong. The gpl doesn't allow for any lapse between release and source posting. It has to be made available the same time the kernel is released. As we know not everyone follows it.

The GPL license does not have a specified time for release. The most common interpretation is immediately but that is not explicitly stated anywhere. So my answer is still correct. Also my friend works for an OEM.

Saying he works for an oem doesn't mean a lot. Many oem violate the gpl every day.

It is stated that it has to be made available upon request. Which means at any time after the kernel is released. Doesn't matter if it is 30 days or 30 seconds. It has to be made available.
