The goal of Android was to remove the gatekeepers who existed, were preventing open access for the developers to the handsets. So they used open source Linux, and themselves plan to make Android open source. The question is - would Continua function as a gatekeeper to the wellness devices? If it is closed source *and* embedded into Android *and* functions as a gatekeeper, then warning bells would go off because it will remind people of a certain company in Redmond that operated the same way.
