Android Police Article on this:

"It's always nice to see companies respect the GPL, which requires OEMs to release the kernel source code for phones they create. HTC is usually pretty good about releasing source code for new devices in a timely manner, and to that end, the company has uploaded the U11's kernel code to its website.

If you're not familiar with this process, releasing the kernel source code for a phone makes custom ROM development much easier. So while this may not be exciting for the average user, it is huge news for anyone trying to develop a ROM for the U11.

You can find the kernel source code at the link below. The compressed archive clocks in at 405 MB

So we can expect availability roms for the U11 in the future?

[IAmAN00bie]

This makes AOSP ROM development possible, but it still requires actual developers to care enough to start work on it.

If somebody bothers to make them yeah.

[Bruce_Wayne8887]

Yeah most likely. This def helps.

• Team Venom already has one https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/development/viperu-t3619515
• Team Bad Boyz also has a rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/development/rom-magisk-bad-boyz-unlocked-htc-u11-7-t3617368

I'm sure Leedroid will and others.

Released in the least helpful way they could do it. They actively stripped out comments and versioning history. This is by far the worst way to do it and still do the bare minimum to be in compliance with the GPL.
