Hi Dianne, Thanks for your reply! One more question, what is "Licensed under Apache 2.0"? Is "Apache 2.0" a kind of agreement or ?
I tried to google what is "Apache 2.0", most of the web pages said it is a software to build a server (but I believe this is not what we talk about here). And some pages try to explain it but I am not familiar with laws or intellectual property rights . Could you tell me what is "Apache 2.0" in short and can we use them on commercial device? I believe we can :) Thanks again! bercago On Feb 4, 1:59 am, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > Nearly all of the code in Android is licensed under Apache 2.0, which lets > you do pretty much whatever you want with it.
