Huawei will provide Kernel Source Code, Android Software Source Code, ... ON REQUEST

I don't whether the source will enable the developers to build something exciting for our devices but still I thought it would be nice if I informed you all. But I have my hopes up and well here it goes:

ORIGINAL MESSAGE BY HUWAEI:
(The download link for the notice is at the bottom of this post. It is a 92 page document)
Quote:

Written Offer
This product contains software whose rights holders license it on the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 (GPLv2) and/or other open source software licenses. We will provide you and any third party with the source code of the software licensed under an open source software license if you send us a written request by mail or email to the following addresses:
mobile@huawei.com
detailing the name of the product and the firmware version for which you need the source code and indicating how we can contact you.
THIS OFFER IS VALID FOR THREE YEARS FROM THE MOMENT WE DISTRIBUTED THE PRODUCT AND VALID FOR AS LONG AS WE OFFER SPARE PARTS OR CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR THAT PRODUCT MODEL.

Included Software (with their full source code):

  1. Iptables
  2. Iproute2
  3. Busybox
  4. netfilter
  5. linux kernel network stack
  6. Linux Kernel 3.10.86 (Don't know if it's pure Kernel or will be for the requested device)
  7. Asterik 1.2.6
  8. Andriod 5.0.2 r1
  9. Android 4.4.2 r1
  10. Android 6.0.0 r1
    ... and other stuff ...


I think the Kernel will be for the firmware you requested (there is no point in gving a blank Linux Kernel. That's available readily on Internet).
Also I take absolutely no liability if the provided source codes are not relative to our product.

The information I provided is best to my understanding of the notice and I won't be liable if it hurts any copyright holder's interests or if the information is not accurate.
