I’m always sad how few open source Android apps are available. Come on Android app developers, let’s see you respect Linux and what it stands for.

I disagree somewhat. Android app developers are entitled to receive a fair reward for the effort they put into their apps. There is no obligation to open source their apps. What’s a shame is that every attempt to put out an open source mobile has failed spectacularly.

I concur. Developers should be free (no pun intended) to choose their licence terms.
