+1 for prefixing with [android] --- treat it like any other distro...

Just my personal view... I disagree. I'm not much interested in the Android option, but I'd still prefer if the emails about it were on this list, so I can keep half an eye on them as they flow by.

Arr, I should have thought a minute more about what I was writing. I mean Google's backdoors to ban unwanted software without asking the user about it and such. Dunno about GPLv3, but this does not interfere with the freedom of the software... btw, one could remove that "feature". :X So in the end it's my definition of free software that it does not comply with. :) > > Another suggestion: treat Android like every other distro - prefix > > threads with [android] and we can filter ourselves. > > Agree.

At least it's not as open as it could be. (Of course this is Google's software and their decision, but I don't think Android is as open as in free software.) Another suggestion: treat Android like every other distro - prefix threads with [android] and we can filter ourselves. -Marcel Am Tuesday 04 November 2008 15:54:08 schrieb Denis Galvão: > What Android is for you?
