Android is hardly open source if it’s developed behind closed doors and final version released. It’s pretending.

Are you confused between open source and open development?

Isn't the source fully open?

Edit:

If I made a movie, and made the files freely available after I make it and let you do whatever you want with it

.. would you insist that it isn't "open" because you didn't see me argue with my editor or the 100 times I iterates on the end scene or whether your idea for chase sequence was not incorporated?
