Flash doesn´t work too
Comment 2 by project member alsutton.com, Jan 19 (4 days ago)

Flash is not supported by Adobe on x86 Android distributions., and the YouTube 
application is a proprietary piece of software which has not been made 
available for x86 Android distributions.

but Youtube works with Android 1.6 x86?!
Comment 1 by project member alsutton.com, Yesterday (20 hours ago)
YouTube may work on 1.6, but as it's proprietary software the only way to test 
it would to be to breach Googles copyright of the app, which is against the law.

If this is true why is the Youtube app on the x86 distibution, surely it is 
breaking the license/copyright conditions just including it with the 
distibution?

Please stop deleting Issues! That´s stupid! 

Porting Android 2.2 to x86 is breaking Google Copyright too!

Ok, you clearly dont know how to use the issue tracker since the issue has not 
been deleted(nor have any other issues you reported as deleted), it has however 
been marked as invalid(and therefore closed) which means it no longer shows up 
in the default view of showing all open issues. However if you clcik the drop 
down box and hit show all issues you will see that your issue is still there.

Also android is open source, the software installed on the versions of android 
shipped with mobile phones may not be open source there is a difference between 
a google application on the phone and the google android operating system as 
far as licenses go and therefore porting android does not break any google 
licenses. however you will note that I have highlight an inconsistency in the 
response given by Al on this topic, please wait for a verification on this 
before reposting the same issues over and over again

Closing again. Reporter unable to comprehend copyright restrictions.

The 1.x project was started prior to Google clarifying the situation, and a new 
1.6 build would have to be made with the YouTube app removed if Google 
requested it. 

This is the reason some OEMs have removed YouTube from their included builds.

In fairness Al, the Youtube app is in the 2.2 distibution, its fair enough 
people are going to ask questions about why it doesn't work (which as it turns 
out is irrelevant to this discussion) 
If it is a copyright restriction the youtube app should be removed from 2.2 
builds and all future builds. if its not a copyright restriction and we are 
free to use it then we can start looking at why its not working on the viewpad.

Can we please clarify android x86's position on the youtube app?
