I guess you could find some arguments already when using a search engine and the terms "openness android development". :) Also, in the recently released "Open Governance Index" (see http://www.visionmobile.com/research.php#OGI ) Android has by far the lowest percentage, plus its license type is considered "permissive" by the authors, while the packages provided by Mer mostly (all?) have a "copyleft" license (the Mer maintainers could elaborate, as I can imagine most companies to prefer LGPL to something like GPL). andre -- Andre Klapper (maemo.org bugmaster) http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/
