 ## Body:
 
-Last week Google [sent a cease and desist]() to the maker of Cyanogen, a 
homebrew ROM for Android phones (like the G1).  Along with the free components 
of the Android platform, Cyanogen included non-free applications like GMail, 
GTalk, and Google Maps.  Google said, "stop".

 Some people were surprised by Google's arbitrary and mysterious exertion of 
control-- they shouldn't be.  That's what companies who make proprietary 
software are doing from the minute they distribute a binary without the source. 
 It's bad for Google to force an awesome project built on countless volunteer 
hours into hiding (the [Cyanogen website](http://www.cyanogenmod.com/) is down 
as I write this) but the only way to have a flourishing community with real 
rights to build and explore is to build it on free software.  The cease and 
desist letter is just a wake-up call.
 
-The good news?  The non-free Google apps in question (at least the ones 
referred to in the [Gizmodo 
post](http://gizmodo.com/5367420/google-threatens-cyanogen-android-hacker-with-cease+and+desist))
 aren't anything special, and are easily replaced.

 ## Google Talk
 
-You can connect to Google Talk with any Jabber client.  There are a couple 
non-free Jabber clients available for Android, and there's a partially-working 
free client, [Jabberoid](http://code.google.com/p/jabberoid/) that could use 
volunteer help.
