A top Google exec announced at the close of this year's Google i/o conference that it will not be releasing the source code of Version 3.0 of it's Android mobile OS.
This as you might imagine has caused quite a furor in the FOSS community. The social networks were abuzz this morning with talk of a possible GPL violation.
Others were of the controversial opinion that since Ice Cream Sandwich the next version of the popular mobile OS would be "open sourced" then there was no cause for worry.
It remains to be seen how events will unfold but a flame war will definitely follow.
From the is-google-still-good depth.
