Beware of leopard in Shenzhen
-
UMIDIGI is a Chinese electronics company. Like all electronics companies, they use modified Linux kernel for some of their products, and like all Chinese companies, they couldn't care less about license terms. They don't publish any of the code they're obliged to publish by GPL terms unless you directly ask them to share it with you. And if you do ask...
Note that the customer in question lives in USA.
But fear not! After stirring shit on Twitter, the combined power of autistic
childrenyoung adults has blessed us with a volunteer who lives in Shenzhen and speaks Chinese!https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/1427624142170247173
(I think we had another thread about Sexy Cyborg's exploits before?)
She went there, she talked to people, she didn't share how it ended yet - she said she'll post the full video on her YT soon. For now, there's a teaser:

TLDW: this Ben who wrote the reply (dated approximately August 15, 2021) hasn't been working at UMIDIGI for a long time now, according to the other office drones there.
