Dear Bobbie Kennett,

Thank you for your reply. The sections mentioned indicate that the kernal source will be made available when the source is in an easilly readable format. The Kernal is still registered under Apache by Google, not HTC. We can merely point out the sections of the GPLv2 that fit within our spectrum of support. The afore mentioned statement of "We are simply unable to provide it to you at this time as it is not currently in an easily accessible format," is true as althogh a program may work on a cellular device, for development purposes, that same software also needs to be able to function with the SDK provided by Google. For it to be flawless for our customers, frankly, it takes time.

As for a time frame, we try to have is as soon as possible, but it tends to be available within 90-120 days of release. Sometimes we can have it sooner than that, as in the case of the HTC Incredible S. I assure you we are working on having this software available to our customers as soon as possible. I do apologize for any confusion with this.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 11USCW13ENA002296.

Sincerely,

Jeffery
