[Sugar-devel] Yet another project to port Sugar to Android ?

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Hi Andrew,

looking at the XO Tablet product page on Walmart.com (
http://www.walmart.com/ip/24511209) I stumbled across the question of
whether the XO Learning UI and apps that you're developing will be (or
maybe already are) available under a FLOSS license somewhere?

Thanks,
Christoph
