- protomyth 16y agobut they couldn't keep distributing on Android without releasing as a GPL-compatible license (same article as ref).
- humbledrone 16y agoSure, that would be one of their options. I just wanted to make it clear that doing so would be an _option_ and not something like a court injunction. A lot of people seem to think that if you are found to be in violation of the GPL, that somehow you will be immediately forced to release your source code to the whole world.
