UPDATE: 5 days later, source still is not uploaded to github. He created a branch in his repo for the source, but never (at the time of this email) pushed the changes to his base source.
He has updated a few other kernels, so uploading should no longer be a problem. https://github.com/faux123?tab=activity => his nexus 5 and nexus 7 kernels have been updated, after his claims of uploading problems. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kenny Glass <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Dec 1, 2013 at 5:38 AM Subject: Re: XDA;s faux123 (aka Paul Reioux) violations GPL.. again To: Eric D <[email protected]> He was given 5 days as is XDA's generous allotment. He responded immediately about having upload problems so he is communicating properly. We do not control Twitter. I would think asking Twitter to be GPL compliant will be quite a task for the Linux group.
