How does the Linux community feel about Android in general? I get the sense that there's a preference for Android vs iOS because it's more open, but certainly Android serves fairly proprietary purposes.
How would you say folks feel about Androids and their place in the open source spectrum.
I would personally say the Linux community disassociates from Android. The Linux community uses it as an example of professionally developed Linux but at the same time whether or not Android should be a distro usually comes down to the proprietary-ness of the whole system. Android is Linux because of the kernel, but not Linux because it separates from the philosophy.
