Linking to TVTropes? Some of us had things to do today, man.

We'll be left with no speculationware to joke about pretty soon, looks like.

Unless it's encoded in something other than ASCII. Then things could get complicated...

On a personal level, your open-source project is successful when it accomplishes everything you set out to do with it. On a non-personal level, widespread usage is probably the best metric.

I knew it!

I think you hit the nail on the head. As far as I've seen, it's just part of third group that frowns upon commercialization - why, I don't know. But anyway, the amount of people who hold this view aren't very numerous.

Android - at least all the code you get from Google - is under the Apache 2.0 License. That makes Android a fully open-source project, since the Apache License is an OSI-approved license (and quite a permissive one at that). So people can't (or shouldn't) complain about Android not being open-source; they should complain instead about carriers making proprietary extensions. Quick note: CyanogenMod - an open-source build of Android - comes bundled with its own open-source marketplace application.
