So the FairPhone OS, as an Android based OS, uses a lot of GPL licensed code. I wonder where buyers of the Phone can get access to the source code as the GPL requires?

The kernel source was finally released! https://code.fairphone.com/projects/fairphone-3-gpl.html I’ve also uploaded the sources in form of a nice git repository to https://github.com/FairphoneMirrors/android_kernel_fairphone_sdm632 , for anyone wanting to look at pretty diffs :slight_smile:

Hi, why solved? I have not asked for the source code. I have asked about the behavour from the fairphone company.

So maybe it’s a good idea if anyone own a fp3 to send a mail via post with a deadline to publish the sources, then give this case to an advocate, maybe money this the only think whats count on fairphone executive suite…

Edit: @karloff Well known already - by Fairphone too. As they admit in their posting that I linked to. So ranting on isn’t going to do anything good. At least rant at the relevant point: Fairphone customer support. Or take it to a lawyer. I just wish everyone was so sticking to the letters all …

Can you or, a fairphone dev give access to fairphone3 source repo on a git or so? If not this is not just a allegedly violation. And I don’t wonna play any ball, I just want the source for the ability to use a different OS until hopefully fp3 open come.

Hardball = you wanna play the game describing things in legal terms, we can play that game. Since there is no jurisprudence that Fairphone has not given access to Fairphone 3 source, it is still allegedly.
