Hi ethan, In addition to this, just because the system that application run on is open source does not mean that every application developed to run on it is open source.
It is up to the developer to decide which license he uses. Obviously if he bases his work or improves an existing open source application then they have to honour that license.

I'm a 30 year old G1 user and I love the Android platform, I think it's great and I'm certainly not cheap. I have bought 3 games which were an absolute waste of money for me but once I'd bought them I didn't want to get rid of them within the 24 hours as I felt guilty that the designers had done so much hard work. I've also bought a few apps, widgets and themes and I'm quite happy to carry on buying them HOWEVER, what I'm not prepared to do is buy any more games or random apps that I don't find useful. This includes the huge numbers of Notes apps, Tip apps, "spirituality" apps or comics. To those devs who design other stuff I'm afraid that I sometimes can't be bothered to trawl through the reams and reams of crud just to find your gem - sorry! One last thing that I was just wondering, since when did open source automatically mean free? I thought it meant that the source code was open for anyone to use it, amend it or create using it? Good luck to you all, and I hope I'll get the chance to try out some of your apps! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are sub... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
