Are you suggesting that to interpret the law correctly here, a court has to judge Google's motivation of releasing the Android code as Open Source? Further, if Apple were to decide, tomorrow, to release iOS as open source, would they also be in violation of the law (possibly depending on their motivation?)

The law often hinges on intent along with action, that's hardly novel.
