I've recently bought an Acer cellphone powerd by Android.
Now my question: U-Boot is released under GPLv2 license; is Acer obliged to give source code if requested (paying the appropriate fee for the physical transfer) ?
Short and simple answer: yes, of course they are.
The Linux kernel source code for the Acer Liquid phone is available for download under the "Document" tab of their Service & Support Downloads page.
If I recall correctly, U-Boot isn't a common bootloader for Android devices so that Acer team may not have realized U-Boot also needed to be released.
