Strange... Cyanogenmod is Android app.
Cyanogenmod is to Android as BSD is to Mac OSX. Cyanogenmod is free of Google-Garbage. It's a lot faster and more under your control.
Cyanogen Inc. is now a for-profit company with its own agenda, and I'm leery of their claims that "it's all good and we're keeping everything open source" - especially now that they're getting funding from Microsoft. I'm sure that RMS has consigned them to the bin for this move - I'm a bit more open-minded than that, but seriously skeptical about the turn of events. I think your comparison is apt, but the future is less than clear - and that's worth noting too. See also the OnePlus mess. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
