Wouldn't want any GPL'd code in android... Oh wait

I think I'm missing context on what you're referring to. Does AOSP include a lot of GPL'd software or something? Do they not comply with the GPL license? (are you talking about the linux kernel or something?)

AFAIK the only GPL code in AOSP is the kernel... so, y'know, just one of the most important parts of the system.

There's also the entire Java standard library, which was a hilarious fuck you response to Oracle's lawsuit.
