Aren’t these guys closed source? IIRC they are infringing on the kernel’s license by not releasing it opensource. Last time I wanted to buy from them, I couldn’t find any source code anywhere.
Also the Linux license does not require you to open source your product, this is why a huge chunk of Google Android is closed source and distributed separately from its open source components.
You only need to open-source modifications and kernel side code (drivers, etc). There is a clearly defined boundary in the license (syscall exception) that makes it crystal clear that proprietary applications can use the kernel as long as they are only touching the user-space API headers

The user interface is closed-source while everything else is open.
Have you found the code? I searched their website and came up empty.
Here is the sailfish code:

Have you tried GitHub, lol?
Did you find it on github?
Yes, I’m subscribed to notifications from kernel repos here https://github.com/mer-hybris
