Now.... That would be like saying Linux is not truly open because you can't use Red Hat Network on your Ubuntu installation.
Most of the applications the Android Marketplace are not opensource anyway, so I don't see why having access to closed source paid apps over there is more open or there's more Freedom on those platform. Anyway, the Android Marketplace is not the only way you can install applications. There are several "appstores" for Android, or you can sideload Android APKs or NPKs yourself without using any of those "appstores". Now that's freedom. -- Sent from my Nokia phone -----Original Message----- From: Danny Ching Sent: 03-07-2011 08:59:22 Subject: [plug] Android is not as free as we need it to be Just a question. If Android (which is based on Linux) is supposed to be more open and free, why is it that Filipinos are not allowed to buy stuff on the marketplace on Android? Apple App Store actually allows me to purchase solutions. I thought open source was about freedom? _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
