Google found a work-around to remove the GPL, in certain

farm out the implementing code, and slap the ASL license on the
result, why use the GPL at all?
So, your basic argument is.. Don't use the GPL since people can see
your code....... ?
Consider three outcomes from the upcoming SCOTUS trial:
1.) The SSO of any computer program may be stolen.
2.) The SSO of some computer program may be stolen.
3.) The SSO of no computer program may be stolen.
Only under the third outcome would Google have been forced to either
obtain a license or to put Dalvik under the GPL.
