Android Continues Being Open Source, Symbian Maybe Not
Certain rumors had recently evolved that Google Android is no longer an open source because of the delay in release of the new source code for developers. Rumors had it that the new version of Android (Honeycomb) won't be an open source but a paid version instead.
A clarification comes from Google's vice president Andy Rubin that the Android will remain a free open source, they will release the source code as soon as it gets ready and they are enduringly committed to provide Android as an open source platform.
On the other hand, a perplexing blog post by Nokia claims that Symbian Platform is no longer an open source and source codes are only available for their collaborators. This has enraged the Symbian fans, who are crying foul play.
