> This clause applies to the SDK binary, not the SDK source code files, and it has been around for years. The SDK source code, like almost all of Android, is covered by the Apache Software License 2 (ASLv2).

Interesting. The very first section of the license agreement appears (IANAL) to disagree with that:

> 1.1 The Android Software Development Kit (referred to in this License Agreement as the “SDK” and specifically including the Android system files, packaged APIs, and Google APIs add-ons) is licensed to you subject to the terms of this License Agreement. This License Agreement forms a legally binding contract between you and Google in relation to your use of the SDK.

"Android system files, packaged APIs, and Google APIs add-ons" are all covered under the term "SDK" in its use in the license agreement. Of course, "Android system files" is quite vague.
