I'm not quite sure what to make of this:

"[...] Google will require every Android developer to register centrally with Google before their apps can run on certified Android devices [...]"

This obviously sucks for developers, but do I understand correctly that there's no impact on non-certified devices? As I already want to free myself from Google I don't have any problem with that!
