Not at all. This isn't about forking Android.

People who fork Android wouldn't really benefit from offering a separate SDK anyway. They would want to take advantage of the existing app ecosystem and preserve compatibility, just like Amazon is doing with Kindle Fire.



A fork means that you offer an incompatible SDK. What Amazon does is not forking the SDK, but using it.
