Google makes money off Android by licensing their closed source applications, mobile advertising, and taking 30% of Android Market sales. Of course it's fine they want to make money off Android but if we're talking about openness that's kind of like having an open source razor with closed razor blades.

I thought it was the carrier that took the 30% share? I don't think Google gets a cut of the Market sales.
