I believe the point is that google can now produce closed source motorola specific software, and not that android is no longer open source software.

- rbanffy 15y agoGoogle always could. The Google apps you find on your Android phone are not open-source. HTC's Sense or Motorola's Blur aren't open source either. In fact, everyone could. My Nook is full of proprietary software. Android is just a software environment people build apps on top. The open-source core is fairly decent when compared to the competition, but no phone manufacturer I know ships only that.
