So, I have read a couple of your posts on Android type devices that don't follow the GPL and release their source, since I am mildly interested as an Android user (with a HTC phone; eeek).
Which manufacturer is behaving well and therefore should we support? Samsung, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson?
Also, if you are looking for another small fight, I know of a Suli SL-7 tablet, which is the same as a Haipad M7 and Dropod A8, which have Samsung A8 chips within and run pretty much the same ROMs. From what I can tell, people are having trouble getting the code from the 'Solutions Company' to enable them to better enhance the ROMs that are available.
