Subject: Formal Notification of GPLv2 Non-Compliance – Redmi Note 15 4G (spinel) #40993

Description

@TheGreatEclipse

It has been over 110 days since the release of the Redmi Note 15 4G (January 15, 2026). As of today, the corresponding kernel source code has not been published, while the 5G variant (kunzite) sources are already available.

This is a direct violation of the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2). Under Section 4 of the GPLv2, your right to distribute the Linux kernel terminates automatically upon violation of the license terms.

We have formally logged this violation and are preparing a report for the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC). We request that Xiaomi immediately restores compliance by publishing the spinel kernel tree to this repository.
