This is exactly right. Android is open source and more or less free for vendors who want to use it. If you want to deal with that then make your stuff open sour

This is exactly right. Android is open source and more or less free for vendors who want to use it. If you want to deal with that then make your stuff open source and free, but then you lose competitive advantage and brand loyalty through lock-in and that's the point. You have to compete on other things like features and quality.
