You don't get it. It's evil fascist stuff until they copy it. Then it's no longer hypocrisy and dishonesty.

Google provides the source and APIs for their mobile operating systems. You are unhappy because they are not providing it fast enough? Exactly why should this bother you? Are you some sort of raving openness purist? It has to be perfectly open in every aspect or else it may as well be completely closed? Seriously, is this the position you are staking out? Apple system is completely closed - more so than any other mobile OS - and they rip off everyone who wants to access their platform, customers, vendors, hardware manufacturers, content providers, developers alike. And your best counter is that Google isn't delivering their source code fast enough to actually qualify as open? This is crazy fanboyism; akin to these personal attacks on Syl taking place in a forum where he cannot respond as he has been banned there.
