Android is distributed under Apache License. This means (to me) it can't use GPL or LGPL code. But this could also mean that just all applications are distributed under Apache License and that the libs which are used are LGPLd. This would offer the possibility for gtk. So I wonder which toolkit is used. Linux itself is GPLd. The Android specs will be published on Nov 12. In my opinion it would be nice not to have a couple of Linux Phone architectures laying around, which are incompatible to each other. There are some: Maemo (ok, currently not used as a phone), Trolltechs Qtopia, OpenMokko and now Android. The problem was, that Trolltech and OpenMokko are too small, they need big partners in the Phone market. So Android may have success, if there comes hardware and if the partners give it time (some years). -- Klaus Rotter * klaus <at> rotters <dot> de * www.rotters.de _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
