1. Introduction
Applicable Terms. By using digital content on Google Play, you agree to the following terms
Opps, sure looks like more restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein... Seems like Android is not so free after all.
These straw arguments cut both ways.
Seriously, there is a boat load of GPLv2 binaries in Android OS. On the standard Android phone, you are not free to modify and replace them. FSF refuses to touch this under GPLv2 terms. And they come up with an augment that obviously applies to both Apple and Android. They seem to think Android is more free than Apple but you can't have it both ways. Smells more like a political/philosophical argument than legal.
