For the record, the software is not open source. None of the versions shipped so far have source associated. (There is a "release-1.0" tag that is vaguely close to what came as rc29. Kinda.)
Even the open source trees (master and cupcake) are missing much of what people consider "android". (Everything from market to contact sync to youtube is closed source, plus all the various hw drivers and such.)
