Gratton: The Sad State of Open Source in Android tablets
[Announcements] Posted Jul 26, 2010 1:34 UTC (Mon) by corbet
Angus Gratton has posted a
survey of GPL compliance across several Android-based tablets, along
with some comments on his findings. "With the exception of Barnes &

find a single tablet manufacturer who was complying with the minimum of
their legal open source requirements under GNU GPL. Let alone supporting
community development.
