For those paying attention; it seems a bit odd / surreal that as a stipulation for approving the Google / Motoola merger China has mandated that it remain free and open… both of which the PRC is anything but…
Granted, third~party vendors have valid concerns regarding Motorola getting special treatment; however, the main strength of Android (which has largely driven their runaway success has been what China has reportedly demanded).
