Android is on fire 

,----[ Quote ]
| Because Linux is free software and belongs to no-one, it is often assumed that 
| Linux is âsurrounded by legal uncertainties,â but Linux is no more or less 
| prone to legal uncertainties than any other software. Richard Hillesley looks 
| at the latest attempt to cast fear, uncertainty and doubt around the GPL and 
| the Linux kernelâ
| 
| The Linux kernel is released under the GPLv2. The GPL was devised as a means 
| of enhancing and protecting the freedoms of the user, the coder, and the code.

| Eben Moglen of the software Freedom Law Centre, and a former columnist for 
| this magazine, remarked âI would say that the issue is a little less complex 
| and a little less dire than it might seem on first acquaintance, while the 
| facts are not quite as simple and therefore the narrative not quite as 
| compelling as one might be led to believe.â
