Trademark nonsense

"If it's so open, how come there's a trademark immediately after the word Android?"

Same reason that Linus T trademarked "Linux" (which, when I last checked, was considered Open Source): so that the name can't be misappropriated, or competing products "passed off" using its name or variants of it.

Thinly disguised?

I think the main news is that Android's SDK is available. The $10m prize fund is a sweetener, intended to motivate entrepreneurial programmers and aspiring entrants to an otherwise relatively closed market.

The presence of trademarks does not prevent Android's platform from being Open Source at all. Please peruse the multivariant licenses approved by the OSI if you need any proof.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
