What does this mean for android?

If the White House position is successful, it means Android as open source software is finished. It may go on as proprietary, maybe.

It also means SQL, C, C++, POSIX, and more stuff that I can count are forbiden land for open source, and every company making products that include or derivate from them own a non-negotiable unknow amount to some party.

Note: In the US. The rest of us have less crazy copyright laws, at least until we're forced to adopt yours through TTIP.
Of course, at the US, at least at first.

My country is not even a party to the TTIP, but I bet once it's there, we'll import it somehow.
