I am posting to ask for the license of ROM(s) developed by all ROM guru.
I know from this forum that there are many people making customized ROM, either from stock or AOSP. As I have been getting the source thru AOSP and compiled a ROM for myself, I am planning to share the ROM.
However, if I really plan to include those customized MODs and/or kernels in my ROM, is it legal? Do I need to follow any rules or regulations when sharing my ROM?
I really learn a lot here. Thanks for all of your help
The code you take from AOSP is from the Android Open-Source Project and is under Apache 2 license.
It is quite similar to the GNU GPLv2, anyway it is Open-Source.
This part fo the source code, from AOSP, must be under Apache 2.
The changes your made should also be under Apache 2.
But technicaly your code can be under any license.
So, you can do what you want, just respect the Apache 2 license, and about Mods, give credits and respect any special author's instructions.
Codes are mainly OpenSource.

hope we get a port of this too for our wave.!
Ist an based on Android but not Android and not open soucre fantastic !!!
To my mind this OS has no interest since it is just a cheap copy of Android to sell services such as their cloud service.
Hi. I've been thinking about how the phone/tablet manufacturers manage the android platform source code. In my case, I have a SE MK16a "Xperia Pro", for which SE only releases the Kernel source code, as most manufacturers do.
What I think, as most of the android platform is licensed under the Apache license, should the manufacturers release the platform modifications they make? For me, it would be interesting if I could rebuild some framework parts to customize my stock ROM, and I think that's one of the reasons Android is open source.
The reason to post this here is, I would like to know other people's opinion or experiences about this.
Thanks.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi,
I have a legal question. Lets say - im building an android os fork (something like lineageos) and i need to use proprietary blobs in device tree (Qualcomm to be precise).
My question is - can i use them legally? Am i allowed to get them from other vendor's OS, copy them and use them in my android? Can such android be legally published on the net? If it is legal what limits do i have? For example can i build commercial os on basis of such solution?
Could someone link me any qualcomm documents about this topic?
Thanks and best regards, K
Your limited on what you can do. The simple answer is no you can't use it for a commercial OS. Most roms use those blobs as they are needed for a device to work. But you can forget making money off it without looking at being sued.
