Is the Success of Google's Android a Threat to Free Software?
,----[ Quote ]
| Worse, if efforts to enable Android apps to
| run on distros like Ubuntu succeed, then we
| may see closed-source software being used
| on the free software stack there, too.
| Ironically, Android's success could harm
| not just open source's chances in the world
| of mobile phones, but even on the desktop.
|
| The free software community needs to
| address these problems by encouraging many
| more developers to build great Android apps
| that are truly free. In fact, we have an
| excellent example of how to do that with
| the rich ecosystem of Firefox add-ons that
| are free software. Moreover, this should be
| an attractive challenge to ambitious coders
| given the exciting possibilities that
| mobile offers for new kinds of programs
| (and not just those based on trendy areas
| like augmented reality). Maybe the time has
| come to shift the emphasis away from trying
| in vain to conquer the legacy desktop,
| towards excelling on mobile, likely to be
| the main computing platform for most of
| humanity.
