[dundee] Android 3 not open

[Kris Davidson]

I'd like to preface this by saying that I don't have an Android phone:

Ah The Register, the Daily Mail or tech journalism. When they're not
publishing a press release they do a badly written or sensationalist
story. About the only thing worth reading there is BOFH.

Stallman said some things about header files back in
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0301.1/0362.html

I'm fairly extremest with stuff like this; I think if you use the
header files then you have to GPL the code.
