Google says it won China’s approval for Motorola deal

“Google said on Saturday that Chinese authorities have approved its $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility Holdings, the last regulatory hurdle to a deal that would allow the world’s No. 1 Internet search engine to develop its own line of smart phones.” The main requirement from the Chinese government? Google needs to keep Android open and free for at least five years. I’m guessing that’s the time Baidu needs to properly fork Android.
