androidAndroid, Cyanogen, the Google Experience, and the Economics of Open SourceEarlier this Google delivered a cease and desist letter to the developer of a popular Android ROM, Cyanogen. It seems like the developer community at large has reacted with a very strong knee jerk reaction claiming the end for Google, and claiming that Google has become Apple. I can understand the reaction to the situation, but I don't think it is really appropriate or fair. Google has made a significant contributions to the Open Source world with Android. They also work to foster the developer community via Summer of Code.
