It is not included in the ubuntu-touch/devel channel, not because we don't have a license for it but because the software does not meet Ubuntu's definition of software freedom to be enabled by default. The ultimate goal is to make the agps support available for enablement via the phone store, which will give all our Nexus 4 users the choice of whether to enable HERE. In the near term, however, we haven't solved the problem of putting this in the store as an add-on package, so the only way we can provide for both use cases is with separate channels with or without HERE included. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
