[09:11] schestowitzAndroid and Chrome water down the Linux philosophy, but they are Linux, and they teeter on the balance of open-source and corporate-friendly. Most people running Android in the US are running the Google version. That's fine. They want that level of support, protection, and assurance. But AOSP and the kernel are still open to flexibility.
[09:11] schestowitzThat's where the political becomes the practical. Open-source projects like Linux allow for change in a way proprietary software doesn'teven if the change goes in a direction that older fans might not applaud.
