      I get that you're happy with your phone and Nexus @johnhooks. That is fine with me. I have my platform preference, and I'm happy to explain what it is and why, but I don't think it is germane to this discussion.

      Actually I think it is germane. What makes any platform potentially more secure than the Nexus (again assuming that all code it comes with from the factory is 100% open source)?

      I said that my preferred platform (never referenced relative levels of security) is not germane. Again, relative security should not be a standard we allow vendors to rest on. It doesn't matter which platform is the most secure (from the perspective of trying to be secure, not purchasing), but whether or not a specific vendor has a secure product and is continuing to secure it in a timely and proactive manner.

        There aren't easy or cheap solutions, but not doing anything is worse. Maybe we should make carriers fiscally responsible for identity breaches provably caused by out of date OS versions.

        How would you force the update on the phone, constant prompting, and after so many prompts it's just forced?

        I'd rather suck dog farts than have my rooted Samsung phone updated automatically and go back to stock bloatware that I can't rid of.

          Exactly.

                                        I'm confused, what where they trying to do before GPL? where they trying to keep it closed source?

                                          They used open source code, without including the license or info that they were using that code, in their bootable USB maker.

                                            They accidentally violated the license agreement.
