Google It's official, Google has Open Sourced Android. The initial release of the source code is available via Google's Git repository with bugs, FAQs, documentation, etc. handled via Android's Google Code project page. Android's licensing structure and project organization seems to be trying to create something akin to the Eclipse Foundation, mixing individual and commercial interests into a development pot for the collective benefit of the platform on a whole.

I sure hope so!

And I also hope you can just install a new version of Android on the G1 if you choose to do so.

That way we can have a new distro platform with lots of distros! Hail for choice!

I really wish for Android distros that don't care for stupid software patents and add double tap etc.
