I think his point is that Google has released their source. As he pointed out, Google Movies is an application and it doesn't have to be open-source just because the Android OS is open-source. It's a completely independent piece of code.

Anyway, this is much ado about nothing since I'm sure there will be a patched version out almost immediately.

Really? Please point me to the Honeycomb source for my Xoom.*

You know that Honeycomb is not available (the whole point of the GP) and your 'eat this' link is totally not helpful?

If you'd followed that you'd seen that you will end up with Gingerbread instead [1].

Actually, the GPL and LGPL portions of Honeycomb have been in the repositories for a while. What most people are clamoring for, is actually the portions that aren't GPL/LGPL.
