Comment on HTC's delays in releasing Linux source code are unacceptable

This is the problem with any license, contract, or other formal agreement. It can say whatever, and one party or the other can simply ignore it. You have to take them to court to force compliance, and since it's a civil matter you have to pay your lawyers to do that.

It's the same technique insurance companies use to deny claims: they know you will have to sue them to get them to pay, and this is so expensive and takes so long that a lot of people will just give up.
