Itwbennett writes "'Ice Cream Sandwich', that is. ostensibly it's source code delay week, as Google joins Apple in playing the release of source code for open source licensed software.

This is not doubtlessly news, since Google said last month that source code would be held for an indeterminate time and released when it was ready. It's just that now 'indeterminate' has an actual date: post-launch of Ice Cream Sandwich. The question, says blogger Brian Proffitt, is: 'How the heck can they do this, given that Honeycomb is licensed under the Apache dos License v2?'"
