What if the author in your example and his friends shipped the unavailable code as a consumer product and called it Android Smart Tablet?

They've been making a lot of noise for years about Android the open source software stack for mobile devices. Now they 're releasing mobile devices, calling it Android, basing it on Android, and keeping the source to themselves; Weak.

Would you have not complained if they had called it "Banana" instead? Or, would you have complained when they open-sourced Banana because it was really Android.

They open-sourced a huge amount of code and you're complaining because they didn't open-source some other code because that other code has the same name?
