As much as this would be excellent. I don't think a dying company will have the funds to do a full code audit and clean out everything everything have under license, under nda or under some other legal agreement and still have a functional code base at the end.

Open what? The screen? 90% of what makes the phone a phone is Qualcomm IP and there’s no planet on which they’re going to allow release of their proprietary bits.

LG won&#x27;t listen and doesn&#x27;t care. I still signed the petition because I might as well help everyone try, but let&#x27;s be honest, corporations don&#x27;t give a damn about their products and customers after their proeucrs disappear from the shops, let alone the environment.<p>It takes a lot of time and money to check code for licenses. The open source stuff they have to release is already available online anyway. The rest of the code is most likely the IP of someone else, be it Qualcom for the SoC or Sony for the camera blobs.<p>It&#x27;d be nice if LG would open up their special sauce, if they do then I&#x27;ll definitely consider their products first next time I need to replace something in my home.

I don&#x27;t see this happening tho. Sadly, there are closed source components in the products which are under NDA&#x27;s, and even if the company wanted they wouldn&#x27;t be able to open source some stuff.

Would be happy to see a support from open source community for LG phones long after the manufacture is closed. LineageOS for example does a good job supporting old phones. Reverse engineering takes ages and very often is abandoned somewhere in the middle of months or years of work. So it would be very nice if LG didn&#x27;t push open source community to have to do reverse engineering.<p>Another thing is that they didn&#x27;t manage to sell their mobile division so it means all their work is gonna go to waste. And that would be very pity. I would be happy to see them donating everything to organizations like Pine64 (or some other org - pine64 is just first that comes to my mind).

I vouched for this. While I don’t find change petitions to be very useful I still think this might spur some interesting discussions.

Maybe Microsoft would buy the division and open source it to make a viable competitive option to google and apple. Long shot...

LG has been already caught spying viewers through their Smart TVs [0]; if that&#x27;s common practice, I wouldn&#x27;t expect them to open source their phones or anything else. Signed the petition anyway because I always support those efforts, but won&#x27;t hold my breath on it.<p>0: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doctorbeet.blogspot.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;11&#x2F;lg-smart-tvs-logging-usb-filenames-and.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doctorbeet.blogspot.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;11&#x2F;lg-smart-tvs-logging...</a>

Zero chance of happening. As most petitions anyway.

This would be great, my LG V20 is collecting dust in my desk besides my shiny and updated Note 10 Plus. But as LG decided to fuck up their customers, I&#x27;m pretty sure they won&#x27;t care now...

I don&#x27;t need any code. Just a bootloader unlock.
