why ARE there any non-open-source bits in Android if Google is really pro-open-source

Exactly...... and what is worse the developer has advanced the source on their behalf which is what open source is about and they slap him.

They get free development, they can use his source to improve theirs and this is what they do?

Strange they didn't just offer the guy a job.

He should invoice them.
