> nor forcibly prevent Acer from shipping Aliyun devices

You and me seem to have different definitions for the term 'forcibly', because that's exactly what they seem to be doing here, like Microsoft forced Hitachi not to ship dual boot systems with BeOS under the threat of pulling Windows.

Except Hitachi couldn't have still put out PCs with Microsoft on them. Acer would still be able to put out Android devices.
