Just to be complete, here's my conversation with Onyx (<sales@onyx-international.com>):


My first email, dated August 3rd:

Dear Sir or Madam

I would like to ask modestly for the source code of any software of your e-
reading device "Onyx Boox M92" that underlies the terms of the GNU General
Public License (GPL).

Thank you in advance for your quick response.

Yours faithfully

Thank you for your reply.

I appreciate both of your approaches, using GNU/Linux as well as Android. As I do own a M92 I formally request herewith the source code of any software running on this device that underlies the GNU General Public License. This means amongst others the source code of the Linux kernel, uboot, libraries, etc. including any custom changes you made.

A rapid response would be appreciated.

Yours faithfully,
My last try on August 10th:

Dear Sir or Madam

In reference to your email from August 4 I would like to kindly remind you of my open request for the sources of any software under the GNU General Public License used on the e-reading device Onyx Boox M92.

I will now repeat my request as I already did in my last email on August 4. As I do own a M92 I formally request herewith the source code of any software running on this device that underlies the GNU General Public License (GPL). This means amongst others the source code of the Linux kernel, uboot, libraries, etc. including any custom changes you made.

Thank you in advance for your quick response.

Yours faithfully,
At last I tried to contact the leader of the development team directly, but his email address (hosted by Onyx) was no longer available and their email system bounced my message.
