#4One problem with releasing your code as open source is it can get used in ways that you don't approve of, eg weapon systems by the military or crapware by the carriers.

Macho. But a phone is exactly where you want a VM. In fact, I would love to be able to push vm images for my phone from my desktop machine. Wake up, plug phone, push image. Security upgrades, new GPS data, my downloaded podcasts, news, emails, etc. I want to be able to come home with a new handset, plug it, and have my "phone" back.

This is why the GPL is better than Apache. The military would have to release their code.

Do you realize governments can appropriate any technology, closed or open, for whatever purpose they see fit, and you're entitled to just "reasonable compensation"?

Why? They don't distribute it outside of their organization.

Can you expound a little more on this please. Let's say I write something, how, exactly can they appropriate the technology?
