Since Android is based on Linux, dosen't that mean that Google is leagally required to give us the source code?

Bob

The GNU license stipulates that companies are allowed to distribute and change Linux, but the customers have to be able to have access to the source code.

Answer
The source code to the parts of Linux they use, not the proprietary software they added to make the phone actually work.

Its the same with Apple. You can download Darwin sources (the *nix parts of Mac OSX), compile it and run it but it is nowhere near what Mac OSX is.

Android appears to be nothing more than a privatized Java clone running on a crippled linux look-alike?

which doesn't have the decency to be device independent. Agree or disagree?

Answer
I agree.


You sound like a disgruntled iPhone developer.

I believe Google will be taking the initiative to unify Android under one platform soon.
