Saying 'iOS is more closed' doesn't make Android meaningfully open.

  What about the fact that competitors are using the OS without so much as asking Google?

    Then why make a free "open" OS in the first place? If it was such a concern that Google should control the OS they could have done what Microsoft did with licensing Windows, or like Apple where they keep iOS to themselves for their own hardware.

  The fact that I can download and build Android is what makes it meaningfully open.

    You can't download and build what consumers think of as Android.

    Can you sent me a link to the current HEAD?

  Right. Being able to fork the OS and release devices like the Kindle Fire do make Android meangingfully open. Saying 'iOS is more closed' is just obvious.
