considering they have a legal obligation to make GPL'd code public, I would not be very impressed if folks here aided and abetted that infringement. I understand trying to keep the lines of friendly communication open, but some of that copyrighted GPL code in the ROM is mine and all of us are cheated when companies fail to live up to their blatant FOSS responsibilities.
Remaking and repairing our ROMs would be so much eaiser and manufacturer EOL'ing hardware would not be a big deal, if only...
The only solution I know of is to reward to virtous and punish the willing violators. And to strongly vote with our wallets if we want hardware with more than a year of useful support and companies to behave.
