+=============================
+ Is Android “free software”?

+
+A couple of months ago, I bought a `Samsung Galaxy (I7500) phone`_; it
+runs a version of the Android_ environment. I'm reasonably happy with
+it: it works as a phone, it allows me to stay connected when I'm not
+at home, and developing applications for it does not seem too hard.
+
+I have a big gripe, though: I can't touch the OS.
+
+No, I don't mean "I don't have ``root`` access": I know how to get it,
+and I even pretty much agree with the whole «make it as hard as
+possible for users (or malicious software) to brick the phone».
+
+What I mean is this: I have the (purported) `source code of the
+Android system`_, from the Linux kernel up to the various
+applications. But I can't do anything useful with it: I don't have the
+"corresponding source", to use GPLv3_ terminology. There is no way for
+me to rebuild the exact same system image that is running on my
+phone. The FSF_ says that the `Apache license version 2.0`_ is a
+"`free software license, compatible with version 3 of the GPL`_", but
+it's apparently possible to release a set of programs under it, and
+have the resulting collection not meet the `free software
+definition`_: I can't actually run the program!
+
+OK, I can run it on the emulator. I say that's not good
+enough. Samsung has given me a binary copy of their Android
+version. According to the license, they are in no obligation to give
+me the source code. How can I call this "free software"?
+
+As an aside, the reason I started this rant is this: there are a few
+features that I would like to change (e.g. add support for OpenVPN_ to
+the nexus_ program; add the ability to change input language for each
+input box, independently from the system locale). Since I can't
+actually benefit from those changes (I can't build a new Samsung image
+with my modifications, and use it), and I don't have any assurance as
+to when they will arrive on my phone (assuming they are accepted in
+the Android platform), why should I even attempt to make them?

+==============================
+ Android è “software libero”?
+==============================

+
+Un paio di mesi fa ho comprato un telefono Samsung Galaxy (I7500), su
+cui gira una versione dell'ambiente Android_. Sono abbastanza
+contento: fa il telefono, me permette di rimanere presente in Rete
+anche quando non sono a casa, e svilupparci applicazioni non sembra
+tanto complicato.
+
+Una cosa, però, mi infastidisce tantissimo: non posso toccare il
+sistema operativo.
+
+No, non voglio dire "non ho accesso come ``root``": so come ottenerlo,
+e sono pure abbastanza d'accordo con la storia del «rendiamo più
+difficile possibile agli utenti (e a software malintenzionato)
+rovinare il telefono».
+
+Quel che voglio dire è: io ho il `codice sorgente del sistema
+Android`_ (almeno così dicono), dal kernel Linux fino alle varie
+applicazioni. Ma non posso farci nulla di utile: non ho il "sorgente
+corrispondente", per dirla con la GPLv3_. Non ho alcun modo di
+compilare la stessa immagine di sistema che sta girando sul mio
+telefono. La FSF_ dice che la `licenza Apache versione 2.0`_ è `una
+licenza libera, compatibile con la GPL versione 3`_, ma apparentemente
+è possibile rilasciare un insieme di programmi sotto tale licenza, ma
+fare in modo che la loro combinazione non rispetti da `definizione di
+software libero`_: non posso eseguire i programmi!
+
+Ok, posso eseguirli nell'emulatore. Non è abbastanza. Samsung mi ha
+dato una copia binaria della loro versione di Android. Secondo i
+termini della licenza, non hanno alcun obbligo di darmi i
+sorgenti. Come si fa a chiamare questo “software libero”?
+
+Nota a margine, il motivo per cui inveisco è: ci sono alcune funzioni
+che vorrei cambiare (es. aggiungere il supporto OpenVPN_ al programma
+nexus_; o aggiungere la possibilità di cambiare la lingua di
+inserimento per ciascun campo, indipendentemente dal "locale" di
+sistema). Visto che non posso trarre vantaggio dalle mie modifiche
+(non posso costruire un'immagine Samsung con i miei cambiamenti, e
+usarla), e non ho nessuna garanzia di quando potrebbero arrivare sul
+mio telefono (anche assumendo che venissero accettate in Android),
+perché mai dovrei mettermi a farle?
