Wow Mark, I really hope for Android that google doesn't think like that at all. You live without the answer or you make the connections ?? Ideally, no questions should be unanswered to us. As developpers we are the end users of the framework and some of us wants to make it thrive so that maybe we can make a living off the platform. Everyone here wants to use the Android Platform to its fullest and create wonderful and entertaining pieces of software. So if some piece of legal document is not clear (as they usually are), then it's obvious we should be able to ask for clarifications and to asks for Google Take on it. Nobody needs any lawyers advice or loophole finding. I can think of at least one way to say that in-app purchases are allowed but my advice or any lawyers advice is subjective and worth nothing. Only Google knows what it wanted to say and how to interpret it's rules. So it really is Google job to tell developers if we can or if we can't. Where is the FAQ ? Again the name of the group is not Android-Coding, but Android- Developer. If as a developer I need to know if I can or can't do that, this where I will come to get the answer. Be it, legal, Ad-oriented, Marketing, or yes coding. So if a Coding Googler could forward this thread to an executive or to the legal department and let us know. That would be awsome.
