Licensing for what ? Using round corners ? Rectangular speaker hole on top of screen ? How original and inventive are these features ? Is that all what makes an Apple iPhone ? I mean is this copying iPhones ?
I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I am guessing you meant to reply to a different comment than mine? I'm referring to following software licenses (such as the GPL and the Linux Kernel) and Xiaomi has always ignored them comes to MIUI.
I could care less what phone looks like what and not even sure why it's getting so much focus. The more important issue is Xiaomi and their scoffing at the GPL when it comes to the Linux Kernel.
