| From: Lennart Sorensen <lsorense@csclub.uwaterloo.ca> | Both qualcomm and cyanogenmod have pretty well deserved reputations for | being rather hostile to openess. I didn't know this about Cyanogenmod. I use stock firmware on all my Android devices, acting like a dumb consumer (sadly, that's what I am). I just assumed Cyanogenmod was open if I wanted to bother. Is it like dd-wrt? I guess most things about Android are pretend-open (fauxpen?). As time goes by more of the important features are closed source. And "open" was almost always a one way street from Google.
