Hi,
As far I know, this list is related to Debian GNU/Linux development,
not to the linux software. So your message is off-topic.
Anyway, the better approach, IMHO, is to convince this third party to
publicize its code. As a "Linux lover", I'm sure you understand that a
reason of the success of this kernel is the way the code is
publicized.
