"Plotted"?! why make it sound so nefarious? they choose an OEM and release the code after the first device hits market.

Florian Mueller is spinning this as news and people are echoing him unthinkingly. There is nothing new here nor is it any sort of foul play just the spins of interested parties.

True. But it does demonstrate how a large corporation can negate many of the benefits of open source, and that Google is one such company doing so.
