Will Android be a really open Platform forever. Ok, they have to use GPL for the Kernel but the use a bsd licensed libc. But a phone Distributor could switch such component, more or less easy ;), at any time. An the other thing is, assuming Android will be the perfect mobile platform in the future, there is still the issue to port Android to a specific Phone. The first Google Phone, HTC G1, ist only availaible if you buy it whit a contract, an then its already really tight to google services. I think if you try to use such a google distributed phone in a free way with your open Android you are standing without the proper hardware support, because the drivers will be for sure not be opensource. By the way the G1, shouldnt work that great at all, at this time and near future. I'm guess I'm just worried the whole Android thing pretends just in the beginning to be opensource until its nessacery for becoming a successor.

Re: USB Networking
Stefan Monnier wrote: That's probably not right. You probably want to try allow-hotplug ubs0 instead. auto means to do it at boot time and it may just fail if (for some reason) the usb0 interface is not yet created. Stefan I could confirm this. It doesn't work with auto usb0 with allow-hotplug usb0 it works just fine. Every time I plug the Freerunner in my debian etch it brings the interface up. I use the version from the wiki with a extra freerunner script. My entry in /etc/network/interfaces: #freerunner allow-hotplug usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 post-up /etc/network/freerunner start pre-down /etc/network/freerunner stop Someone should correct the wiki, should I?
