I chose to purchase an Android phone because I believed that Google was committed to a truly open source mobile operating system. To me, that means that when I buy a hardware device that runs the OS, I can also download the source code the device uses, modify it, make use of my customized version, and share my changes with others. I feel that Google is trying to have their cake, and eat it too. At this point in time, I regard the Motorola Xoom and other Honeycomb devices as proprietary platforms that should be avoided by those who care about their software freedom.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Android openness withering as Google withholds Honeycomb </title><url>http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2011/03/android-openness-withering-as-google-withhold-honeycomb-code.ars</url><text></text></story>

If code is really open, it allows everybody to use the code as they see fit, however unfit other users might think it is.&lt;p&gt;The Apache webserver is really open: I can modify it and use it without any restriction from the Apache Foundation just because they might think my modifications &quot;don&apos;t function properly&quot;.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Android openness withering as Google withholds Honeycomb </title><url>http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2011/03/android-openness-withering-as-google-withhold-honeycomb-code.ars</url><text></text></story>
