Linux is distributed under the GNU GPLv2 license, you can not distribute software without source! Xaiomi have violated the GNU GPLv2 with the distribution of Miui 8 (5.1.1) and miui 8.5 (6.0)! I will contact the copyright owner (Linus Torvalds) to report the repeated violation of the license by Xaiomi

Thanks for the attention

Nothing to laugh about. It's not as stupid as Xiaomi not complying with GPL.

amarpreetosahan commented 7 years ago

@TheStrix as a developer i respect you a lot, but is this really thing of laughs?

luk1337 commented 7 years ago

@amarpreetosahan yes indeed.

amarpreetosahan commented 7 years ago

@luk1337 don't you think that xaiomi have to follows the license from they arw selling his product?

luk1337 commented 7 years ago

@amarpreetosahan we weren't laughing at that, we were laughing at you.

luk1337 commented 7 years ago

In maymay land, we say it as, "one does not simply accuse Xiaomi of not releasing sources"

marines commented 7 years ago

@luk1337 you're dumb.

Xiaomi are a bunch of tossers, they don't care about the GPL. Don't buy their products. Shame as my next phone would definitely be Xiaomi if they weren't such greasy bastards.

zieru commented 7 years ago

out386 commented 7 years ago

There's no really restricts for Open-Source terms in China now :(

Do you open a change petition when a drug dealer rips you off in the street when you're buying weed? And yet you open one for the criminals at Xiaomi? LOL.
