JFYI: we at OpenInkpot did the analysis of Hanlin V3 firmware and sent it to the gpl-violations.org (as Jinke is Chinese and OEM lBook is Ukrainian). Both Hanlin and lBook refused to release source code, and gpl-violations.org is overloaded with the requests for GPL violations.

So we just reverse-engineered all the parts we needed and now working on open-source firmware without any code from Jinke.
