Apache license != GPL I am not sure of the exact requirements, but the apache license does not have the same extent of requirements on derivative works or mandate of a source code offer that the gpl does - and thats part of why google chose it as they thought it would be a better sell with handset manufacturers. Of course the kernel is gpl, but little of userland is (maybe none - they have their own c library and boxed shell) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
