Distributing closed apps? WTF is that? we do that all the time in WM. WM is a closed platform and we have more freedom than Android? GTF outta here. |
You are talking about Apps, not the OS. There is no theory on Android being Open Source. You can pull up the source code right now, modify it, and redistribute it.
The apps on the other hand are not open source, they are proprietary google apps, and obviously they want to control who can, and how they are distributed.
