Brad Kuhn says: "Google wasn't seeking to circumvent the GPL at all." That's wrong. Not only did Google throw out numerous GPL notices from the original headers, but it explicitly stated in the context of Bionic its goal to "keep [the] GPL out of user-space" on page 36 of this official presentation:

I already pointed to that from my blog post on the Bionic story (http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/03/googles-android-face...) but just wanted to show this example of a definitive error in Kuhn's generally very unconvincing blog post.
