[GPLv2 COMPLIANCE DEMAND] Request for Consolidated Kernel Source Archive — Redmi 7A (pine) / CrystalOS Project #41148

Description

Description & Legal Notice

Dear Xiaomi Open Source Team,

I am writing to formally request the complete, corresponding, and machine-readable Linux kernel source code archive for the Redmi 7A (codename: pine) running on the mi439 platform.

Context: I am an independent OS developer and the main maintainer of the custom ROM firmware project CrystalOS. I am actively building and optimizing Android 11 / LineageOS 18.1 for the mi439 ecosystem. To ensure strict stability, clean compilation, and full hardware compatibility, I need the official consolidated codebase directly from the manufacturer.

Under Section 3 of the GNU General Public License, Version 2 (GPLv2), the distribution of compiled Android firmware binaries creates a mandatory legal obligation to provide the complete corresponding source code used to build those binaries.

While some code segments are hosted across the MiCode repositories, I am requesting a fully consolidated compressed archive (.tar.gz or .zip) specific to this device model, including:

  1. The complete matching kernel source tree.
  2. All modified hardware drivers and out-of-tree vendor modules.
  3. The exact default configuration files (defconfig) used for official global releases.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to open-source compliance and for supporting the independent developer ecosystem!

Best regards,
Pavel (CrystalOS Project Maintainer)
