Че то това е напълно очаквано! Нищо ново под слънцето -защо ли от известно време HTC и Samsung мислят за собствени платформи.....
.
Всичко е бизнес и при Google с отворената(ЗАТВОРЕНАТА) платформа.
Някой да не си помисли че съм само анти-apple настроен
. И тия имат много трески за дялане.... то не са само Oracle сега да ги съди заради Java-та , не е и Ричард Столман създателя на GNU проекта който спомена че в Linux базирания Android няма и помен от истинска GNU/Linux дистрибуция.... по простата причина че няма никакви инструменти от GNU проекта с която си идва всяка една GNU/Linux дистрибуция.
Цитат:
Android is an operating system primarily for mobile phones, which consists of Linux (Torvalds's kernel), some libraries, a Java platform and some applications. Linux aside, the software of Android versions 1 and 2 was mostly developed by Google; Google released it under the Apache 2.0 license, which is a lax free software license without
copyleft.
The version of Linux included in Android is not entirely free software, since it contains non-free "binary blobs" (just like Torvalds' version of Linux), some of which are really used in some Android devices. Android platforms use other non-free firmware, too, and non-free libraries. Aside from those, the source code of Android versions 1 and 2, as released by Google, is free software – but this code is insufficient to run the device. Some of the applications that generally come with Android are non-free, too.
Android is very different from the
GNU/Linux operating system because it contains very little of GNU. Indeed, just about the only component in common between Android and GNU/Linux is Linux, the kernel. People who erroneously think "Linux" refers to the entire GNU/Linux combination get tied in knots by these facts, and make paradoxical statements such as "Android contains Linux, but it isn't Linux". If we avoid starting from the confusion, the situation is simple: Android contains Linux, but not GNU; thus, Android and GNU/Linux are mostly different.
(Within Android, Linux the kernel remains a separate program, with its source code under
GNU GPL version 2. To combine Linux with code under the Apache 2.0 license would be copyright infringement, since GPL version 2 and
Apache 2.0 are incompatible. Rumours that Google has somehow converted Linux to the Apache license are erroneous; Google has no power to change the licence on the code of Linux, and did not try. If the authors of Linux allowed its use under GPL version 3, then that code could be combined with Apache-licensed code, and the combination could be released under GPL version 3. But Linux has not been released that way.)
