Does the Nexus One or Nexus S blur this line at all? In that case, it seems like Google is doing more than simply making the source code available. Those phones actually carry its brand.


Microsoft has a deal with Samsung already in place. See: http://news.cnet.com/Microsoft%2C-Samsung-in-patent-swap-dea...

the software maker specifically notes that the deal will allow Samsung to offer products using Linux without concern that Microsoft will sue it or its customers.

And another deal with HTC. http://www.androidguys.com/2010/04/28/htc-pay-microsoft-roya...

So both of those phones are covered.
