UBports is very aware of the current situation involving Huawei.
The position of UBports is that Free Software allows choice and protects developers and users.
Ubuntu Touch is Free Software and can be used under GPL and Ubuntu trademark licensing.
UBports will decide to work with manufacturers on a case by case basis, whenever we feel the situation benefits the community and freedom of choice.

Do you think Ubuntu Touch is a good alternative to Android or iOS?
If so, then this is a reminder to go to www.alternativeto.net and suggest UT as an alternative to both if you have not already done so. So far your help has made Ubuntu Touch the number one alternative to iOS!
Why? When people search 'alternative to android' or 'alternative to iOS' in a search engine, we really want them to find Ubuntu Touch and our project. Most search results are pointing people to the Alternativeto.net website. Thankfully we now have an active page. We are asking for 4 simple tasks:
Go to our page and click the 'like' button (if you like it)
https://alternativeto.net/software/ubuntu-touch-1/reviews/
Give UT an honest review!
Go to the Android page and suggest UBports Ubuntu Touch (NOT the dead Canonical one!) as an alternative to Android.
https://alternativeto.net/software/android/
Go to the iOS page and suggest UBports as alternativeto iOS
https://alternativeto.net/software/ios/
Thanks for your help! We appreciate it!
