Yet somehow many thought that the cynic ones of us where wrong and Google would be different.

Our opinions are based on life experience, watching the same cycles unfold time and time again.

The next one will be the demise of open source ideals after everyone has migrated away from GPL for everything but the Linux kernel.

I will give it around 10 years for it to happen.

Open source ideals defined by who? Richard Stallman? True open source is code that you can do whatever you want with it. When Google releases their code it's under what I consider the true ideals for open source software and not some license that threatens legal action if you don't release your modifications.

How does it feel following your true ideals of open source software, installing AOSP on your mobile device, with the ability to use apps from the Play Store?

What about updating the BSD distribution on the PS4?
