“After complaints from users, Dell has now released the modified
source code from the version of Android that runs on its Streak
tablet. Over the summer, complaints had mounted that Dell had not
released its changes to the GPL-licensed components, including the
Linux kernel, that make up the tablet’s operating system. After a
period of silence, at the end of August Dell said it would address
the issue. Dell have now released the source code, which includes
the Linux kernel, BlueZ Bluetooth stack, the WLAN WPA supplicant,
WebKit web browser and JPEG Library.”
