"I'm a bit concerned that it's going to be Android, however, that wins the mobile world since Android is nowhere near the ideal OS from an Open Source and ethical perspective; but, I guess they got the bits right that Larry was suggesting needed to be right."

They've already won; Apple isn't coming back (did they "go thermonuclear" in the end or did that nonsense die with Mr Magical Thinking?).

Don't confuse Android with Google; you can grab the source and do what you want with it, like Cyanogenmod have, or like millions of hobbyists are doing themselves. It's all available with bog standard open source licenses - no need to worry about ethics.
