I am not a legal expert nor really a phone expert, just an OSS enthusiast shit posting online about the government/companies tracking me. I do not believe code without source code released is copyright but I do not really know what legally is copyrighted code. Also I think I may have misspoke, I think the chip manufacturer gets their code approved by the FCC. It is probably the companies arguing their work is contained. I would at least like phones where it it could be isolated from the chip so that it could be disabled or work more like a firmware than a second CPU. I found this link before if you would like to learn more.
