SS #5: Reich-t On Track

Difficulty - 2.5/5

SS Super Sunday #1 : Open-Source Wars

Identify A to N.
Scoring : 3 points for each correct identification, 20 for getting all correct. Scoring will not be done on first-to-answer basis for Super Sunday.


Note: Do read the 'How to Play Section' on the Summer Slam page before attempting to answer the question.


A is an Indian electronics brand that is partly owned by B. A was founded in December 2014, and is a joint venture between B and the open-source community developer C. A, and by extension B, officially hold the rights for C's mobile platform D in India.


B's exclusive rights to distribute D-powered devices in India led them to file an injunction with the Delhi High Court which resulted in the temporary ban on E to sell their sole "flagship" device the F in India in the mid-to-late December of 2014. 


After the ban was lifted, E began work on their custom ROM G that would run on their subsequent batches of F, and their next-generation device, the H.


E was founded in December 2013 by former vice-president of I, J. E released their first device the F in the April 2014. The rights to sale of this device in India were given exclusively to the world e-commerce giant K.


Given the relatively small-size of E and their limited production capacity and marketing budget, the F promoted itself by campaigns encouraging people to smash their old phones on video, or the extremely short-lived "Ladies First" campaign.


F, however, was not the only device to be banned by the Delhi High Court at that time, as only some days prior, the sale of L-powered devices of M, originating from the same country as E, were similarly banned on grounds of patent infringements by the Swedish telecom giant N.
