If we could only get kernel source to use this... (Score 2, Informative)

Drivers are nice and all, but you need a kernel to compile them into.

In the case of the Snapdragon-powered Sprint Evo, HTC still hasn't released kernel source after a month of distributing the binary kernel. Despite the fact that GPLv2 requires them to release the source along with the binary...

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

For the Nexus One, HTC waited around 6 months after releasing the phone to release the kernel source. The HTC Hero still doesn't have the most current source released.

It's sad to see that the manufacturer of flagship phones for every major US mobile phone carrier (other than AT&T) has no respect for the GPL and has reduced developers to reverse engineering Linux kernel sources, asking clueless customer service reps for a source release, and generally trying everything they can think of without getting any positive results at all.
