Foros Club Delphi - Google: Controlando el open source (android) por todo medio necesario...

Excelente y muy bien delineado articulo detallando la forma como Google utilizo el open source como un caballo de troya, estrangulando la competencia que pudiera surgir al matar el incentivo economico, acaparando a los fabricantes y posteriormente, ya que el *verdadero* espíritu del open source representa una amenaza, utilizando tácticas tipo MS para anular cualquier fork efectivo del proyecto.

Contrasta por ejemplo, con la forma como la fundación Mozilla opera (que es de las pocas que podría realmente afirmarse como una empresa open source).

Me hace recordar lo que se escribiro en http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articl...gyLetterV.html

La parte del articulo mas impactante, en mi opinion:

Cita:

The OHA is a group of companies committed to Android—Google's Android—and members are contractually prohibited from building non-Google approved devices. That's right, joining the OHA requires a company to sign its life away and promise to not build a device that runs a competing Android fork.

....

This makes life extremely difficult for the only company brazen enough to sell an Android fork in the west: Amazon. Since the Kindle OS counts as an incompatible version of Android, no major OEM is allowed to produce the Kindle Fire for Amazon. So when Amazon goes shopping for a manufacturer for its next tablet, it has to immediately cross Acer, Asus, Dell, Foxconn, Fujitsu, HTC, Huawei, Kyocera, Lenovo, LG, Motorola, NEC, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, and ZTE off the list. Currently, Amazon contracts Kindle manufacturing out to Quanta Computer, a company primarily known for making laptops. Amazon probably doesn't have many other choices.

La conclusion:

Cita:

The second you try to take Android and do something that Google doesn't approve of, it will bring the world crashing down upon you.
