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.
- onli 6y agoLG itself is not dying though, they are only leaving one market. If there is a situation where this might work for a classic enterprise is it this one, isn't it?
- chasil 6y agoVerizon also (appears to) mandate locked bootloaders for any Android devices that it certifies on its network. This extends even to Google Pixels, which are unlocked on every other carrier. LG would likely be sued by Verizon for issuing tools that could be used for unlocking.
- kjrose 6y agoPretty much. The code base is likely immense. The amount of cost for lawyers and engineers would easily outweigh any benefit for LG.
- rambojazz 6y agoCalling LG a dying company is a bit of a stretch...
