So, freemangordon is *not* asking someone to write re-licensing bug (without chances for success, as we know Nokians), he is just asking someone to ask Nokians about code that they're *obliged* to release.

Still, for ~1,5 month, no N9/N950 user care to help us int his (quite trivial) task. Which, I'm quite not surprised, judging by N9/N950 user base and type.

I had a little conversation on #harmattan and it seems that having n9/50 is not needed for source code request.
<Piru> fair enough. so they didn't respond?
<freemangordon> I don't own n9 nor n950
<DocScrutinizer> aaaah
<freemangordon> I am not in position to ask
<Piru> you don't need to
<Piru> just get the binary and you're entitled to ask for the src
<DocScrutinizer> exactly
<freemangordon> noone has distributed the binary to me in any form
<DocScrutinizer> and it's LGPL?
<freemangordon> 100%
<DocScrutinizer> hmm, just ask
<Piru> well if you get the LGPL binary by whatever means they MUST provide the src if you ask for it
<Piru> and I'm fairly sure they do. the LGPL clauses are rather "flexible" about it
<Piru> for instance it doesn't specify how fast they should respond
<Piru> also they can choose to deliver via physical media if they choose to...
<DocScrutinizer> nah, they will move when there's really sth fishy
<Piru> I saw the (L)GPL offer at least
<Piru> in about
<Piru> want the address?
<freemangordon> sure
<Piru> sourcecode.request@nokia.com
<Piru> or written snail mail:
<Piru> Source Code Request
<Piru> Nokia Corporation
<Piru> P.O.Box 226
<Piru> FI-00045 Nokia Group
<Piru> Finland
Will you do me a favor to write a mail to nokia asking for source code as I don't feel my is English good enough to do the job. My diplomacy too . Just have in mind that license is LGPL, not GPL.
