Yes, but it is not Android doing the locking down, it is individual vendors. So Android is not to blame for that.
Edit: so your complaint is that Android id not on the GPL? Or why the downvotes? Indeed, the GPL would be more free in a way, more restricted in another way.
- pornel 15y ago> Indeed, the GPL would be more free in a way, more restricted in another way True, and RMS is concerned with freedom for end-users above freedom for phone vendors and network operators. GPL v3 with anti-tivoisation clauses seem to be exactly designed to disallow "malicious" firmware some Android phones have.
- Tichy 15y agoSure, but Google never claimed to be on the GPL.
