Android also has dnsmasq, which is GPLv2/GPLv3, in userspace. When they first started talking about removing GPL userspace I offered Google a license on pretty much any terms they wanted but covering use in Android only. They wouldn't take the "Android only" part, and dnsmasq is still in Ice Cream Sandwich under the GPL.
