Imagination Technologies does not hit anything with the Linux Kernel, which I know has open source code.
If in recent months, the Mediatek policy has changed, it's a good sign, but I remember this:
MediaTek, it seems, modifies the Linux kernel instead of changing the license (more or less as if BMW bought Ferrari and remitted them without precise agreements in this regard). The few leaked sources, in fact, show that various parts of the Linux kernel have been changed by changing the existing GPL license and inserting Apache, BSD or proprietary licenses. All of this is, of course, illegal.
As if this were not enough (and perhaps because of this), MediaTek requires that anyone who wants to access the sources sign a non-disclosure contract and pay a considerable sum that also includes the technical documentation of the chips. The only companies able to sign the contract and to afford the payment of the license are the big companies.
This is in direct violation of point 3, paragraph b of the GPLv2.
The Mali G51 is a good gpu:

In my previous PS, exists Snapdragon 636/660/710/835/845 Xiaomi OEM with Qualcomm Partnership.
