Yes, exactly. I'm confused why i get downvotes. HN seemed to be very spare with downvotes, but it seems to be overrun by google fanboys.

Ah, I see.

I guess I will point out that this doesn't seem to be the case. As we see from this very post the kernel sources are released, and from the earlier posts we know Glass can be unlocked with the standard Nexus style 'fastboot oem unlock', so Glass (at least through Google, who knows what other OEMs might do) will be as open as Nexus phones from what we can tell.

Unfortunately this is where most companies kernel pushes end (just the tarball w/ nothing else).

It won't. It will end up in AOSP when JBQ gets back. Due to some human scheduling snafus on my part, this didn't get done before he went on vacation. I simply don't know JBQ's exact method of doing git kernel pushes to AOSP, and i'm not going to possibly mess up the entire AOSP kernel tree to learn :).

Just to update this, the kernel should now be in AOSP on the "glass-omap-xrr02" branch of the kernel/omap project.
