Thanks for the reply. I just checked the Terms and Conditions to confirm the policy.
I've got no problems with AndroidPublisher's business model. It's just that I wasn't aware of the policy and wanted to double check to ensure that they weren't conning anyone. As for Google, I just realized it has to do with a Checkout merchant account, and developers can at least publish their free apps. Hopefully more countries are added soon, though, because 9 feels way too less taking into account the rapidness with which Android is growing these days. with regards, Raveesh Bhalla On May 27, 2:07 pm, Al Sutton <[email protected]> wrote: > It is true. > > Fairness and openness don't enter into it.
