Android - Opportunity, Complexity, and Abundance, Management is the challenge: A White Paper by Black Duck

The Android mobile operating system is an excellent example of the power of open source software.

Android is about abundance and opportunity for carriers, developers and consumers. Yet with opportunity and abundance comes complexity: managing development of software designed to extend an open-source operating system with parallel development forks, governed by multiple licenses, with rapid development cycles and frequent commits is not a simple task.

This white paper describes the opportunity and challenge of developing for Android, looks at its history, reviews licensing and IP issues and presents a solution for managing its abundance and complexity.
