HMD Global Insists to Release Core Source Codes for Nokia 8!
Open source community members are shooting fire on HMD Global because of the kernel code that is not released on the day.
HMD Global, a privileged manufacturer of Nokia brand phones, did quite well by keeping the devices up to date. For example, we released Android 8.1 beta version for Nokia 8 late last month. But that does not change the fact that HMD's Authorized Product Manager Juho Sarkivas has not been published, although 136 days have passed since the Twitter tweet that Nokia 8's source core code will be shared with the open source community.
Sarkivas, who posted a tweet on September 20, stated that HMD would not release the bootloader function of Nokia 8 with security reasons. But he also wrote that they are going to share code about core changes, and that they are already working on this topic.
The non-sharing of changes to the Android kernel is a violation of the GNU General Public License, version 2 (GPLv2) license, which causes the HMD to wake up in the developer and amateur community.
Yes, with the locked bootloader, the kernel source code will not make much sense for the ROM developers, but the violation is a violation. And this situation puts the good intentions towards the company that makes a promising start in jeopardy. The undeserved HMD ends up infringing sooner or later by doing as if Xiaomi is in Mi A1.
