Prominent Smartphone Company Refuses To Provide Linux Kernel Sources Under GPL

I'm sure most of you have heard of ZTE, a prominent Chinese smartphone company. Well, here's my story.

I have a ZTE Score x500, which is admittedly a terrible phone. I've been trying to port AOSP (Android Open Source Project) to it, but I need the kernel source code. Usually, an OEM will release the kernel sources on a website soon after the product or update is released, though it is not required. They are required to release it upon request. However, source code for the Score is not listed on ZTE's open source release site. My next step was to email ZTE about acquiring the source code, which they are REQUIRED to do. Below is my email and their reply:

L*** C*** <*******@gmail.com>

to mobile@

To whom it may concern:

I own a ZTE Score x500 and am an Android developer, Linux enthusiast, and Free Software Foundation supporter. I noticed that you have not released the kernel source code for the ZTE Score x500 on your Open Source bulletin webpage. I am requesting you provide me with the kernel source code for the ZTE Score x500 as required under the GPL.

Thank you,

to me Dear Customer

Thank you for contacting ZTE

If you are looking for the Kernel source code than

Please check in the below link .

http://bit.ly/1P46h7N

If that model is not available there than we really Sorry to inform you that we can't provide this now it may take more time depends on the technical department.

You can also contact the local dealer where you purchased the device to or network operator to send a request to ZTE so that we can release the Kernel source code because

ZTE is not selling any product to the customer or in the market directly.

ZTE will sell only in bulk quantity to the network provider and to the dealer

Should there be further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards

I contacted the carrier (Cricket) but was initially turned away, then told they would look into it, but I have doubts about it. ZTE has been known to do this to source code they seemingly don't wish to release, even replying with the exact email, verbatim.

I would like guidance on what I should do next. At this point it's less about getting the actual source than making a manufacturer follow the licenses for FLOSS software they use.

What happened to Unix? Who owns it? And are newer versions of it still being developed today?

I remember when Unix workstation were quite popular from the 80s to 90s, from direct descendants such as BSD, Solaris, HP AUX, AIX, Ultrix, and NeXt. But they seem to have died out by the late 90s to early 2000s.

But what ever happened to the "original" (so to speak) Unix that was developed by ATT and licensed to companies and academia. If I recall sold the rights and code to someone else, but does Unix exist today as operating system or as a standard?

I didn't know where to ask this question. I thought /r/linux would be appropriate.

Jaa omat vinkkisi! Niksi-Reddit!

Oma kontribuutioni: En jaksa koskaan uudelleenvängätä leipäpussin sulkijaa paikalleen, mutta jos sen heivaa jonnekin, unohtuu leivän päiväys. Tungin siis sen sulkijan sinne pussiin. Se on siellä tallessa, päiväyksen voi tarkistaa, eikä leipälaatikkoon kerry kahtasataa wanhaa sulkijaa.
