It's good that Greg called out Google for not aggressively pushing their code upstream, but it's not like their code is closed. You just won't be able to pull a kernel.org source tree and build a new kernel for android. Instead you have to get it from http://android.git.kernel.org/ if you are so inclined. -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.
