I struggle to see how it can be monetised, people never care about security untill their machines stop working or their bank refuses a refund. Or their ex boyfriend keeps turning up un-invited. Then it's a big deal, they spend money likely on things that make no difference because to most security is intangible. It would have to be Google for Brand protection but I guess it's more likely that they would buy the code review it and incorporate it into Android. The best of both protecting developers IP and users is interesting to me, but I guess the code would be ripped off in other markets and phone types. Damage claims against Google waived and the effect on law suits would obviously need to be well thought out. -- Kc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
