maybe I'm dumb but I'm missing the part where Android is a proprietary trademark.

  The term Android is not trademarked. Even the bugdroid is released under a cc-attrib license. Funnily, the term 'droid' is trademarked and licensed by lucasfilm/disney mostly.

    I remember that being a thing when the droid phone was first launched.

Yes, I do know who you are -- in fact, we have met -- but Google should not be using Android™ if it's not trademarked ;-)

      I agree, obviously. Lemme look into it.

        Oh, derp, I was thinking of something else. That makes a lot more sense (that We'd trademark)
