Third-Party Notices
OpenPhone is built on Android, LineageOS, Linux, device trees, vendor extraction workflows, and other third-party software.
OpenPhone does not relicense third-party materials. All third-party materials retain their original licenses, notices, attribution requirements, source availability obligations, and redistribution restrictions.
Important categories:
- AOSP and Android platform components: generally Apache-2.0 and other upstream licenses as provided by the Android Open Source Project.
- LineageOS components: upstream LineageOS licenses and notices.
- Linux kernel and GPL-covered components: GPL obligations apply to covered code and modifications.
- Device trees and hardware support repositories: upstream project licenses.
- Vendor blobs: may be proprietary and may require extraction from a user's own device or factory image unless redistribution is clearly permitted.
- Google apps and Google Mobile Services: must not be bundled without the appropriate licenses.
Binary distributions must preserve required third-party notices from all included upstream and third-party components.
