I'm sorry I'm a bit confused with all this legal GPL/LGPL/OS licensing stuff.

So, the fact Amazon released that source code (I guess, not really full one for the Kindle firmware) doesn't allow for somebody to get it and re-compile/re-build with new TLS version, so that even 'original' 2.5.8 for KindleDX would work w/o any hacking?
