I'm under the strong impression that Nokia has internal access to the source code, or could get it. However...
The problem: the 2.6.x driver is buggy and unstable. It also uses GPL code in a closed-source context. Someone needs to fix it, develop it, or plain
rewrite it
to the point where it is usable and doesn't violate the GPL. This means that either Nokia does it internally (
not going to happen
) or we all stand behind one or more community devs *cough*
simon
*cough* and ask Nokia to sponsor the cost of getting the community team access to the driver. It would probably mean the team would have to sign NDAs, but the ultimate goal would be to have a working binary that can be released to the community. Nokia wouldn't have to pay their own developers, just pay whatever fees are required to set up the agreement between the community team and TI/ImgTech.
Can someone clarify? Is there any source available at all? Or is everyone talking about a binary that nobody outside of TI has source for, not even Nokia?
