According to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
"Android is a Linux-based operating system ..."
but on the same page says:
"Android does not have a native X Window System by default nor does it support the full set of standard GNU libraries, and this makes it difficult to port existing Linux applications or libraries to Android."


According to Qt's wiki page "Licensing Talk about Mobile Platforms," Android is defined as the following:

"The Google Android operating system is based on Embedded Linux. Therefore it is permitted as an application deployment platform, as long as the developer has an "Embedded Linux" license."

http://qt-project.org/wiki/Licensing-talk-about-mobile-platforms

To point out, this decision has implications on licensing Qt.
