Sorry, I missed that - yes, the statement is just about the SDK, which presumably doesn't
include Linux.

However, I still don't see any particular reason to assume evil intentions. The SDK is not the
platform - the SDK can include non-open components without affecting the openness of the APIs,
frameworks, and components of the platform. I haven't sorted through the SDK enough, yet, to
have an opinion on that.
