Is the installer actually open source? I searched a week ago for the beta source and it wasn't available yet.
(I'm quite annoyed by the current developments in cyanogenmod: Less and less is open source as it seems...)
- voltagex_ 13y agoYou should see the rest of the XDA "community". Open in name, not in nature.
- gcb0 13y agothey are incorporated now. Trust them as much as you trust Samsung or Google. Or maybe less.
- Karunamon 13y agoIncorporated != publicly owned. All a corporation exists as is a group of people banding together to get tax and other benefits collectively. There's none of the other folderol about profit motive or fiduciary duty or the other pressures on megacorps to act unethically.
- specto 13y agoSo because someone wants to make a living on something they love they're untrustworthy? I agree I would rather have open source applications running on my phone, however I also feel it is a good thing they are monetizing their efforts. I prefer a more stock version of android, but any additions to the android ecosystem strengthens its ability.
- saurik 13y agoNo. This has been stated upfront, at every occasion, and without any form of deceit or indirection.
- nezza-_- 13y agoI did not say or imply that there was any deceit or indirection, it was an honest question.
- Supermighty 13y agoHe said it like that because some people are really upset that it is not open source. I don't think he intended to mean you specifically.
- saurik 13y agoYeah, sorry; this description of my intent is accurate.
