[olug] [OT]: Researcher’s Video Shows Secret Software on Millions of Phones Logging Everything

[SndChaser]

Don't think that's likely to happen, unless Google decides to pull
the whole development toolkit out of GPL. I think that would cause a LOT
of furor and negative publicity that Google wouldn't want.

Of course,
there are carriers that are already making some very annoying decisions
for us. (The Droid Razr still has a locked boot loader... Motorola
offered the option of locking or unlocking the boot loader -- Verizon
decided to ship with a locked boot loader...)
