Dear Izamryan,

Thanks for your reply, I understand what you written ... but I'm more interested in knowing whether or not that piece of code will build me an portable Android, so I can port it to an actual ARM device (say HP iPAQ series).

I refer you to the Android Software Development Kit License:

1.3 This version of the Android SDK is being offered to the developer community on an "Early Look" basis. With the help and input of the developer community, Google will continue to add new functionality and features to continually improve the SDK. Once the SDK reaches a more finished form, Google intends to release most of the components under the Apache v2.0 open source license.

I trust this answers some of your questions.

Hi,

I ask this question representing none specific party, just as a ambitious developer (geek).

Will Google open the source code of Android OS?

So that open source Linux community like "open embedded" can pick that up and build it to variety of mobile devices.
