A petition to ask them to open source their Android kernel is one thing, but asking them to open source patented software/hardware is not going to happen. Even if they never make another mobile phone ever again, there is too much value in their patents.
Also, why would they donate all these resources directly to Pine64? Pine64 is interested only in open hardware, why would they support a closed-source platform they have no means to manufacture? If anything you should be asking for this information to be released into the public domain.
