The license can change any time they want. They can change the license to prevent certain companies from using future releases and/or security patches.

Let's don't forget the fact that Huawei had legally binding contracts with all those US suppliers.

Until then, it's a bsd inspired license. And you get code from Cox, Griesmer, Taylor, Pike, Hudson and Clements under those terms. It's a big team on several aspects.

So you can remove your tinfoil hat and check the code for yourself. It is valuable.
