Entitled to get the source?Entitled to get the source?Posted Apr 20, 2011 15:24 UTC (Wed) by sebas (subscriber, #51660)Parent article: Xoom and the Android tablet experience
Hey Jon,
Aren't you entitled to get the source code to Honeycomb, since you got a tablet?
Asking for it is probably not the nicest thing to do, given that it's a "present", but certainly an interesting exercise.

Entitled to get the source? Posted Apr 20, 2011 15:34 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Since the source is not shipped with the tablet, anybody is entitled to ask for it. But that only applies to the GPL-licensed source - the kernel, essentially. Since people are already building alternative kernels for the Xoom, I assume the relevant source is already circulating, though I've not actually looked into it.

Ah, okay.
Thanks for the interesting review, by the way, and so many other insightful and enjoyable articles.

Kernel sources are available here:

Note that Xoom is known by the internal name, "stingray", here.
