The preview release of MOTODEV Studio for Linux available from here:
http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/motodevstudio/linux/
contains GPL code (including gcc, binutils, glibc, cygwin and others) in
both the "MOTOMAGX SDK" and the shipped VMWARE virtual machine (which
contains an x86 build of linux and the MOTOMAGX software stack and is used
for testing the apps you build with the SDK)
I am aware of various ongoing work to get the GPL source code to motorola
phones (i.e. Z6w, a1600 and others that moto released that they havent
published source code for) but this is for the linux SDK (which seems like
now it will never go anywhere with Android being the focus)
Can someone follow up on this and tell me what is happening with regards to
getting motorola to release the source code for this (and getting motorola
to be better at complying with the GPL in the general case)
