Google Android and BSD code

As Google just made the Android platform's codebase public, I could finally have a look at if it's really based on BSD code.
And yes, the whole /bin/sh code is taken from NetBSD and the libc code is based largely on OpenBSD and NetBSD libc. I did not look any further so there maybe other parts as well.

Though I'm not a fan of Google, it seems like a quite nice mobile plataform.
But time will tell. :-)
