It isn't the same thing. Those Android apps have specified distribution licenses. Their counteparts on WM dont have that.

You can't seem to delineate Google's Android Efforts, from their Android App development efforts.

What they choose to do with their close sourced apps, how they distribute them, has no bearing on how open Android is.

Think of those Apps as like the Paid NERO app for Linux. You pay for those apps as a built in cost of the phone. You Cannot redistribute them. Just like you can't Copy a paid NERO program from your linux computer and make it available for others. That is what Cyanogen was doing, even if he had the best of intentions.

Dude, Youtube app and Google Maps is a paid App for Android? That is what the Initial google problem with cyanogen. This aint no warez problem. Google never claimed that Cyanogen is distributing Paid Apps. They claim about closed apps.

Re: Google issueing a C & D to Android Chef Please read and support Chefs everywhere
 

Look at what Google says about the distribution of those apps. They are provided on the Cell Phone via a Business agreements (IE the Manufacturers Pay Google for the Google experience on their Android Phones). Cyanogen was not part of those business agreements. He had no right to distribute them. Period.

From the other thread..... The sky is the limit with Android..... just don't try to distribute software you have no license to distribute or you will get your hand smacked. That is Cyanogen's problem. It's not an Android problem. Google didn't have any issue with what he did with Android. In fact Cyanogen is distributing his ROMs again MINUS the software. You should really try to understand that.

Google Mail + Youtube + Market != Android . They are NOT ANDROID, they are Apps on Android.

Before you continue to spout your flawed theory of what Android and Open Source is..... go and read what Cyanogen himself says about the platform.

Before you say something else that is wrong. The licensing structure is Apache. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License

Google hold's the copyright, but it makes the source code open. It allows developers to change it, and redistribute it. It allows them to make the pieces they develop themselves (SenseUI, Motoblur) and label them as close sourced.... or they can make open source if they want.

It's a flexible Open source licensing structure that allows someone to build revenue from their own work....

OK readers. This dude will sway ur decisions that is it ok. Don't be fooled. Sproklan is no developer. Sporklan is no more intelligent as U and me. Sporklan will copy and paste what he found on the internet just to prove me wrong. He will believe what he read on wiki, no questions ask.Sporklan is the kind of person that U will find on the streets that, U will tell him to buy something. and he will buy it. like the way he bought Android. He will Stand behind android no matter what.

This is the thing thou, Android is not as free as WM. And WM is as free as what we want it to be. Sporklan however says that Android is more free, and it will be the most powerful OS in the mobile world. But he is on the WM community. Why are U here and owning a WM device anyways? he will tell U that he did not say Android is more powerful but I will link U to our conversartion once he does. just look out for d edits time. it will be there.

Now he made sense UI as an example. Dude. Sense UI from goolges phone is being ported with no fear at all!

Re: Google issueing a C & D to Android Chef Please read and support Chefs everywhere
 

The problem with my rebatal and sporklan is he thinks that copying and pasting what wiki and google said will end the debate. He does not think that, Dude, Just use ur common sense. U will understand.

Re: Google issueing a C & D to Android Chef Please read and support Chefs everywhere
 

I will tell U sporklan that this thread is about supporting cyanogen.
I know cyanogen gave up and will stop distributing what he used to do under Googles power.
HAHAHA!
This thread is supposed to be, signing a petition for google to leave cyanogen alone. that is in favor of cyanogen the development.

I never thought that this thread is about, to convince cyanogen to do what Google wants him to do.

If this thead is on Googles favor, FU! I will never sign that petition!

Sporklan, tell this people How Open Google Android is.. LMAO!

Re: Google issueing a C & D to Android Chef Please read and support Chefs everywhere
 

Thats definately not true, windows mobile doesn't distribute the source code or label it as open source. The reason that it may "seem" more open is cause microsoft doesnt give a damn weither we distribute its work, along with HTC. Google seems to be more caring about that stuff. We have no right to make roms, or distribute unreleased software, but since they don't say anything we do it anyways.

Um sense UI is being ported cause HTC never gives C&D's. Its not open source...

Also how does apps that arent open source make a whole OS all of a sudden not so open?
The apps were never meant to be distributed, they are closed, If you read he says hes continuing development but not including those apps in and that is fine with google.

Re: Google issueing a C & D to Android Chef Please read and support Chefs everywhere
 

U do not Understand a thing. So go ahead and troll on other thread thread coz this topic is much too complex for U.

nobody says M$ will distribute M$ code. Nobody knows M$ codes!!!! It is a closed platform!!! even if somebody knows the code, They cannot release the code!!! It is protected!!!
