This is bad, but it's not new. While it seems the Honeycomb source will be kept secret longer than usual, Google has always withheld source code from the community while providing it to privileged partners. For example, the Android 2.0 Eclair source code was not released to the Android Open Source Project until after it was already shipping on the Motorola Droid. Even carriers and manufacturers who were part of the Open Handset Alliance did not have access to it before then. I know, because I once worked with some of these companies on Android customization projects.
