  36. Free as in OSI-free or DFSG-free? Most certainly not, but why would you
  37. care for an interface to a proprietary tool?

  67. This is one file in Chromium. I thought most if not all was free.

  77. Subject: HTC claiming Linux Kernel is Apache
  78.  
  79. Hello
  80.  
  81.  
  82.  
  83. Twice now in the last year HTC has denied my requests for Kernel source, by telling me and
  84.  
  85. others that it is covered under the Apache license, and not GPL2. I was hoping maybe someone
  86.  
  87. here with more rights to complain (a contributor to the kernel perhaps) would be willing to send
  88.  
  89. a written request to their legal department, as HTC recently told one of my friends to do.
  90.  
  91.  
  92.  
  93. We are seeking the HTC Thunderbolt kernel source, but have been told either no they don't
  94. have to release it as it is Apache. Another employee sent us a form letter stating it will be released
  95. in 60-120days.
  96.

  129. Sigh. HTC *really* should change their helpdesk responses.

  161. You can simply delete this file without doing any harm unless you want
  162. to use a proprietary debugger.

  177. Armijn,
  178.  
  179. Can you give me more details on what you just did? I am trying to document what is going on,
  180. as we have gotten many people to complain to HTC (even core kernel developers) and the only
  181.  
  182. results are of ignorance, and refusal.
  183.
