Let's see, late in the TFA it says this:
Motorola stood to lose a significant amount of business if the issue had it waited for Google to enter the country.
(Hey, I didn't edit the thing.) Anyway, that was preceded immediately by this:
Android, developed originally by Google, is open source, meaning partners are free to use it even if Google decides not to support it.
And so this is a story how? I propose a new headline: "Motorola Not Stupid (full story page B13)"
