We're is kernel source code of Redmi note 13 4g sapphire #40589
Description
It has been nearly two years since the release of the Redmi Note 13 4G (codename: sapphire), and the developer community is still waiting for the release of its kernel source code. This delay is not only disappointing for your loyal users and the custom ROM community but also constitutes a clear violation of the legal obligations under which the Android operating system operates.
The Android kernel is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2). This is a "copyleft" license, which mandates that any entity distributing software based on the kernel must provide the corresponding source code to the public. By withholding the source code for the "sapphire" model for two years, Xiaomi is failing to uphold its legal responsibilities to the Linux Foundation and the global developer community.
While Xiaomi has historically benefited from the open-source ecosystem to grow its brand, this prolonged silence undermines the spirit of innovation. The lack of source code prevents developers from fixing bugs, improving security, and extending the lifespan of the device through custom kernels and software.
We demand that Xiaomi:
Immediately publish the complete and functional kernel source code for the Redmi Note 13 4G (sapphire) on the official GitHub repository.
Provide a transparent timeline for future source code releases to ensure this two-year delay never happens again.
Compliance with the GPL is not a choice; it is a legal requirement. We urge Xiaomi to rectify this situation immediately to maintain its reputation as a leader in the technology industry.
安卓内核基于 GNU 通用公共许可证第 2 版 (GPLv2) 授权。这是一种“左版”（Copyleft）许可证，要求任何分发基于该内核软件的实体必须向公众提供相应的源代码。小米公司通过扣留 "sapphire" 型号源码长达两年的行为，未能履行其对 Linux 基金会及全球开发者社区的法律责任。
虽然小米在历史上受益于开源生态系统来扩大品牌影响力，但这种长期的沉默破坏了创新精神。源代码的缺失阻碍了开发者修复漏洞、增强安全性以及通过定制内核延长设备使用寿命的努力。
我们要求小米公司：
立即在官方 GitHub 仓库发布 Redmi Note 13 4G (sapphire) 完整且可用的内核源代码。
为未来的源代码发布提供透明的时间表，确保这种长达两年的延迟不再发生。
遵守 GPL 许可证不是一种选择，而是一项法律义务。我们敦促小米立即纠正这一现状，以维护其在科技行业作为领导者的声誉。
