Developers need to be clear and understand if they are the ones selling the
apps and giving a cut to Android Market.  This has totally different
liabilities from Android Market selling the apps and giving a cut to the
developer.
So developers, my question is to gauge what your understanding is till now:

Are you selling the app and issuing a receipt/invoice or is Android Market
selling it for you?
