    OnePlus and lack of kernel sources (update)

    Posted: 12 Feb 2021 10:35 AM PST

    Hey, guys. Following these two posts I made recently due to OnePlus not submitting the kernel sources for a few devices, I contacted the FreeSoftwareFoundation to investigate the possible violation and move forward.

    One of the issues I had contacting OnePlus is that support simply is not capable of helping with sources. Most of the tickets I opened would result in specialists that didn't understand what a GPLv2 violation is, couldn't to escalate the issue to the concerned team, or simply ignored me for a few days until I opened a complaint ticket asking for answers. A fair number of them would just link me to the forums, saying I should submit a post on their feedback section (lol). That's understandable, I guess, but it was a frustrating experience trying to contact someone that could fix this amicably.

    In any case, you can see here the FSF follow-up https://i.imgur.com/sXIc0Ls.jpg. Apparently, OnePlus needs to submit an offer to the source code, or the code itself, in the phone's manual and/or in the "about phone" section. I had some trouble finding anything that would get me said offer. I checked my phone box and the user manuals in the webpage, and didn't find anything either. I assume, and I may be wrong here, that OnePlus is not aware of that and didn't include said offer. However, if you guys could check it out, I would love to see your findings. I've also contacted support and explained that, attaching the email from the FSF guy, and they said that I would get a follow-up in an hour. It's been three hours since.

    Also there are a LOT of sources lacking, and I hope OnePlus can sort this out as soon as possible. Thanks for reading this, and I'll update you guys once I get something from this.

    This is relevant to other OEMs as well. If your manufacturer is not submitting the proper sources as intended, be free to contact compliance@sfconservancy.org. Be sure to explain thoroughly the packages violated and be as detailed as possible. As someone explained to me, you may be able to find the contact for sources in "about phone > legal information > third party licenses".

    I just sent an email to oss.request@oneplus.com, as indicated in the "third party licenses" section, and will wait to see how they respond. Appreciate you guys.

    Update: also, r/oneplus has been removing my posts. One of them had gained some traction. I'm not sure why the removals, but it's really weird nonetheless

    Just found this out while trying to watch a basketball game in my bedroom sitting next to my less than interested wife. I was able to quickly and easily connect my Airpods Pro by going to settings/remotes & accessories and then just pairing it. Watching TV with noise cancelling is amazing.

    This device continues to be perfect is almost every way.
