# There are reports that Google has sent a cease-and-desist letter to
# CyanogenMod, perhaps the most active independent creator of alternative
# images for Android phones since JesusFreke left the scene.

The reason is due to the redistribution of the non-free Android components.

# The issue would appear to be the packaging of Google's closed-source
# applications - things like maps, the market application, gmail, etc

The link to the original story with an IRC log is here:

Shouldn't be an issue for the current efforts for the FR as those apps aren't 
packaged, but it does illustrate the need to be careful about things like 
this.

cheers!
