This post sums it up quite well. http://androidandme.com/2009/09/news...d-controversy/
The crux of the issue was not what Cyanogen was doing with Android, but the CLOSED SOURCE apps that belong to Google.
Sorry if you can't understand that.
In Google's own words. Google is protecting their business deals. I would imaging this means that they are charging Manufacturers, or Carriers for the Google Experience. |
that is the same stuffs we do on WM. But no cheff receive C and D letter from Microsoft.WM phones chefs ports anything posible. From tf3d to midomi. Google maps to youtube. But google never send a C and D letter to WM chefs even for distributing their closed sourced google maps. Wether same manufacturer, different manufacturer. but Google is so defensive on their Android even the development is for android itself. Is that Freedom of open source mean to U?
