I might be alone, but I think having a Google-branded FOSS-derived OS is a win-win for FOSS operating systems and software across the board.
Once you get someone to sample platforms they're not accustomed to, it gets that much easier for them to explore further and go beyond Android to other OSes and applications.

Linux is a dirty word, Caitlyn. Another example is Palm's Pre OS, which is Linux. But they are very careful to call it WebOS, and you can cruise Palm's web site until your eyes bleed without seeing any mention of Linux in connection with the Pre.
Why don't these goons just use something BSD-licensed?

Quoting:Too many make it seem like Google has invented their own OS.Kinda like Apple, huh?
Shouldnt that be GNU/Pre and GNU/Android ... just making gnuisance of myself.
ow @ az. Ow ow ow. Oh, and pain.
Tuxchick: I'm quite certain RMS would agree with az. Look at how much of a big deal he makes about GNU/Linux vs. plain old Linux.
az: Only if you're using gNewSense.
bah, you knew the new gnu branding use too good to be true.

I don't get why tech "journalists" feel like they have to quote the now seriously debunked MS claim of a 96% market share on netbooks, though.
I love these articles that quote claims about what the market would be like in 2012. How many people saw the current economic downturn coming in 2004? How many saw netbooks coming in 2003-2004?
