Package: androidsdk-ddms
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
i've been alerted to the following in the android sdk terms and conditions:
3.4 You agree that you will not take any actions that may cause or
result in the fragmentation of Android, including but not limited to
distributing, participating in the creation of, or promoting in any
way a software development kit derived from the SDK.
this is, in my mind, in clear violation of the debian charter and,
if correct, means that the entire android sdk should be pulled,
or at least moved to non-free.
thoughts?

Since we all agree that the sources are DFSG free, I am going to close
this bug report now.
