nah, it's MIT licenced. they're rebuilding, while redesigning, linux - without GPL. i think it's in a way that makes driver development less expensive for hardware manufactuters. stable driver apis mean a hardware manufacturers can care less about maintaining them while the kernel can still update without worrying as much about breaking drivers.

it doesn't really matter if it's currently in secretive development, or not - the result will be that fewer people have access to the code their phone/other device is actually running.

in essence: there's still cause for concern.
