Developer Joe Hewitt Tears Into Android?s Definition Of ?Open?

In Silicon Valley, there are few developers more respected than�Joe Hewitt ? he helped create Firefox, he built the indispensible development tool FireBug, and he was also responsible for both Facebook's 'Touch' mobile website �and the first few versions of its incredibly popular native iPhone application (which he's rumored to have built singlehandedly). And Hewitt, who is still a prominent Facebook employee,�isn't shy about voicing his opinions when it comes to technology. This evening Hewitt has tweeted an hour-long stream of criticism directed at Google's definition of "Open" when it comes to Android ?�a topic that was brought up by Steve Jobs during his tirade against Google during Apple's earnings call yesterday. Android chief Andy Rubin responded to Jobs with his first tweet, which contained his definition of open: a terminal command that can be used to download the source code of the current version of Android. But Hewitt obviously isn't satisfied.
