Android 
A report from VisionMobile has ranked Google’s Android operating system as the most “closed” open source platform among eight other major open source projects. The Open Governance Index is a deep look at the openness of Android, Qt, Symbian, MeeGo, Mozilla, WebKit, Linux and Eclipse. The winner? Qt is the most open open source platform with an Open Governance Index of 58% while Google’s Android was the most closed open source platform with an Open Governance Index of 23%. That being said, Android is one of the most successful projects in the history of open source, with VisionMobile’s report saying :
“Is Android proof that open governance is not needed to warrant success in an open source project? Google has made Android available at ‘less than zero’ cost, since Google’s core business is not software or search, but driving eyeballs to ads. As is now well understood, Google’s strategy has been to subsidize Android such that it can deliver cheap handsets and low-cost wireless Internet access in order to drive more eyeballs to Google’s ad inventory.”

What? Those Qt figures make no sense. 370/400 = 92.5% not 58%
