Hi Eric,

> MikeC84 of XDA has a public kernel available for download,

It would be handy in cases like this to state the URL and the SHA1 or
similar digest of the download to put it on the public record.  Others
on the list can then trivially repeat your action.

His latest reply at that URL includes "The latest version of my kernel
was compiled from my open bitbucket repo therefore there is no
violation".  Does this mean source is provided after all, or is it that
he has replaced the earlier kernel with a later one and you're after the
source of the earlier one?  (One good reason for getting the above
recorded at the time.)

I do think your general attitude, e.g. "thanks for playing", serves only
to get others' backs up.  The end aim is to widen the spread of source
code, not to annoy those that transgress when they could be talked
around nicely, with a bit of cajoling, into complying for the benefit of
all.

Cheers, Ralph.
