> Romain Guy (of Google's Android team) posted sample code for a Shelves application and had the same experience. As a 3rd anecdote, Ken Magic (also at Google) made an open-source Solitaire app [1] for Android, and I'd guess at least 1 in 5 of the (numerous) Solitaire apps in the Play Store are minor tweaks of his code with ads slapped on -- you can recognize them by the card art. I made my own zero-permissions Solitaire app [2] and purposefully haven't open-sourced it because I would expect someone to slap ads on it. Even worse, considering that I don't have a large install base, they could probably outrank mine in the Play Store search results (granted, I don't do myself any favors by simply calling it "Solitaire").

(it's a built-from-scratch clone of Ken Magic's Solitaire but with vector graphics and an updated UI) |
