I don't even see how this has any association with your
original post:
"Sorry, but I was not suggesting that at all. My post was
out of recent frustration in trying to get source code for
my new Android based car stereo. Once the device arrived I
immediately asked for the source because I want to build
CyanogenMod for it. The response? They told me NO."
What does this have to do with anything? With aliyun, with
alibaba, with google?
Your issue is your car stereo, which may have it's own
source, which they do not have to provide. That's a part of
issues with the apache license v2, not any of the companies
listed above. If android was GPLv3 - which is it's own
separate issue (and google is not at fault for), then such
an issue would not exist. in the meantime, that was google's
decision due to delay from sun.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Given those points I can sympathize with the frustration of not being able to
freely program your Android car stereo. I was not aware such things existed!
[As a bit of a dinosaur, I'm vaguely aware that car stereos no longer have tape
cassettes (certainly not of the 8-track variety anyway), but I'm a bit vague on
how they hold more than one CD at a time.]
Good luck with the project. It does "sound" like a challenge over
device drivers, but it's amazing what developers come up with as workarounds.
