Hi
Leider ist Android alles andere als Open Source; der Begriff Open wird nur von der Google Marketing-Abteilung genutzt.
Dies will nun Replicant ändern. Meiner Meinung nach ein sehr interessantes Projekt.
Auch interessante Diskussion:
Meiner Meinung nach ist Android etwa so "open" wie Mac OS X.
Was sagen die Fanbois dazu?

Quelle: http://replicant.us/Replicant is a distribution of Android that is 100% Free Software.
Most of Android is licensed freely under the Apache License 2.0. The Linux core is mostly Free Software under the GPLv2. However, there are numerous components of the default software stack on the devices that are proprietary software. Most notably, nearly any component that touches the hardware directly is proprietary software.
We are not experts in embedded devices; we are just enthusiastic hackers that are giving a try.
Auch interessante Diskussion:
Quelle: RMS: 'Is Android Really Free Software?' - SlashdotAn anonymous reader points out an article by Richard Stallman in The Guardian which questions whether Android should be described as 'free' or 'open.' Quoting: "Google has complied with the requirements of the GNU General Public License for Linux, but the Apache license on the rest of Android does not require source release. Google has said it will never publish the source code of Android 3.0 (aside from Linux), even though executables have been released to the public. Android 3.1 source code is also being withheld. Thus, Android 3, apart from Linux, is non-free software, pure and simple. ... Android is a major step towards an ethical, user-controlled, free-software portable phone, but there is a long way to go. Hackers are working on Replicant, but it's a big job to support a new phone model, and there remains the problem of the firmware. Even though the Android phones of today are considerably less bad than Apple or Windows smartphones, they cannot be said to respect your freedom."
