No, it is just fine. Paying royalties for any file system is an abomination in this day and age. There are free alternatives, and Google most certainly knows about them.

"Isn't so very terrible" does not cut it for something that I am forced to buy. It has to be "superior" to the free alternatives. I don't have issues with divergence from the spec as long as the user is clearly warned when he formats his SD card. Just pass the decision to the users, and let us see what happens.
