Irate Android devs aim to replace Google's proprietary bits

,----[ Quote ]
| Google has angered the Android enthusiast community by sending 
| a cease and desist notice to a third-party developer who is 
| building a popular custom version of the open source platform. 
| Google doesn't want its proprietary bits included in cooked 
| ROMs.

The Android-Cyanogen kerfluffle

,----[ Quote ]
| What began as a story of evil Google seeking a monopoly on 
| Android apps has become a kerfluffle.
| 
| The opening shot was a cease-and-desist letter issued by 
| Google against Steve Kondik, aka Cyanogen, Kondik was 
| producing a modified Android ROM that included proprietary 
| Google applications.

The Android/Cyanogen Dispute Takes Android in New Directions

,----[ Quote ]
| Kondik has responded to Google's cease-and-desist letter by 
| agreeing to develop a workaround, through which he will 
| release a version of his Android-based framework minus Google 
| applications, but allow anyone who has Google applications on, 
| say, a phone, to reinstall them on his own software framework. 
| That's a creative solution.
