How can they have "top-secret patches" to the Linux kernel and comply with the terms of the GPL?
You only have to give source away to those who get binaries. I wonder if it'd be technical compliance if the kernel and a source archive are both in a user-inaccessible part of the phone's filesystem. :-\ The Android community is already infamous for tardy GPL compliance, though. -- Anthony de Boer
