It looks like a Cyanogen mod is getting into a spot of bother with Google, as Google send the developer of the Cyanogen modded Android ROM a cease and desist letter whereby Google ask him to stop distributing the closed source Google applications.
Seems Google isn’t too happen with the closed source apps such as YouTube, Maps and Gmail, but Cyanogen does appear to be somewhat popular with over 30,000 user’s claims androidandme.
One wonders if Google and Cyanogen can come to some type of mutual agreement, otherwise this may well be the end of Cyanogen apps. The developer does say he is trying to seek a dialogue with Google though.
