This makes me worried - what I really loved more than anything else about this project was that Cyanogenmod really tried to embrace the spirit of FOSS. Now, in reality, it doesn't really work that way because of proprietary drivers or google services, but the spirit was there...
Now I have my doubts about whether they'll keep true to that philosophy and spirit. I mean, I guess Red Hat has been pretty awesome for Linux, so maybe they'll go that route and calm my nerves a bit.
I saw someone ask whether they would remain open source in the AMA, and they gave kind of a murky answer which involved saying that certain parts would become closed and proprietary - really not a good start to this whole thing in my book. The whole reason I switched to CM in the first place was to get away from crappy closed software that I had little control over.
