That depends on the end manufacturer. There are lots of Mediatek source code dumps on Github, for example. The problem is that the chipset manufacturers don't actively tell their customers what they are obliged to do under the license - and so they assume that the chipset vendor has given the code and docs under "gongkai" terms.
