I talked to the council about the removal of licensing restrictions for Visual Studio that now allows developers to build plug-ins that target any platform.
The Eclipse licensing model allows users to build whatever they want on the platform and re-release it as a unique distribution. (If this interests you, see the Eclipse Public License for details.)
Eclipse许可模型将允许用户在平台中构建所需的任意内容并重新将它发布为惟一的发行版(如果对此感兴趣，请参阅eclipse Public License获得详细信息)。

Although it would be beneficial to all if Google were to use Android licensing to further open the market, that likely would have stifled adoption of the platform by handset makers.
