As I said, this could get interesting.
Note that Google isn't going after Alibaba. They're simply holding Acer to the terms of the Alliance. The fact that this alternate OS can run many Android apps natively means that it's reasonable to apply the terms within the spirit if not the exact letter of the OHA agreement.
