I've heard so many complaints from developers about the delayed source release, however I've never known Google to withhold source code for Android.

Could the slight delay in release simply be due to legal issues such as scrubbing patent issues and verification that OSS code isn't infringing?

I'm not sure why any developer would need access to source code with such a well documented SDK.

Lots of hackers would like the source so they can poach the some code, make a few enhancements then make a quick buck though...
