I don't see any irony there. Google is open sourcing most of Android while
protecting some brand related properties in order to maintain their value.

It's actually much better for users, who can expect some minimal quality or
feature whenever they see the green robot or the brand "Android" on a
product.

Actually, Google's guidelines are pretty
generous<http://www.android.com/branding.html>since they allow to use
the robot.
