Hi all,

This all looks right to me. My understanding is that the device boots into Ubuntu, and then starts a minimal AOSP environment in an LXC [0] to get the device support, and the two communicate over a UNIX socket
- at least for the Nexus 4 reference device. Of course, this means
that much of the core OS on the device is exactly what you'd have on your Ubuntu desktop, though there are obviously storage constraints on a mobile device, so it has been slimmed down.
So, there is also a (though minimal) android on there?
Touch apps are packaged as Click Packages and, yes, we do allow non-free packages into the store. All packages must specify their license when they are uploaded, so it is possible to search for packages released under a specific license (e.g. enter the search string `license:"GNU GPL v3"` in the Store Search bar).
This is already a very good step, I think!
Thanks for the infos!
