“Matthew Porter’s talk at the Grenoble conference
titled “Mythbusters: Android” tackled the question of how much
Android is actually Linux, how functional it is, and what is the
nature of the Android community. Porter came to two interesting
conclusions. First, he concluded that Android is not Linux in the
strict sense of the word because important userspace components are
missing, thereby making Android comparatively inaccessible and
inflexible.”
