对于CyanogenMod大家可能比较陌生,但是对于大名鼎鼎的Android想必大家都清楚。CyanogenMod是基于Android的操作系统,但是日前谷歌已经开始准备扼杀Android下的CyanogenMod了。
CyanogenMod的作者说他收到了来自Google的邮件,让他停止CyanogenMod的开发。具体细节我们还不清楚,但看的出Google对这个用户量超过3万的自制系统很不舒服,尤其是Cyanogen还在分发 Google的闭源Android应用(Market, Talk, Gmail, YouTube等等)。
下是Android and Me收到的Cyanogen发来的聊天记录:
Google想让我停止
CyanogenMod也许要终结了
我正在与他们沟通
不,他们正在跟我具体谈闭源Google应用的问题
还有我不能未经许可就分发它们
我争辩说我只为有着Google体验的设备做开发,都是经过授权的应用,我们还需要等待看他们怎么说。
Relevant bits from the chat log we received:
[20:03] google just cease and desisted me
[20:15] cyanogenmod is probably going to be dead
[20:16] i’m opening a dialogue with them
[20:20] no they are talking specifically about the closed-source google apps
[20:20] and how i am not licensed to distribute them
[20:20] my argument is that i only develop for google-experience devices which are already licensed for these apps
[20:20] so we’ll see what they say
