Presumably actual licenses have been complied with - ie, free software components whose licenses mandate source releases have been released, while only those components under source-optional licenses have been held back. Android has a design goal of keeping source-required licenses out of the userspace code running on the device itself, so they are mainly to be found in the linux kernel and the toolchain. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
