Google is adding DRM to their playstore apps. What what their future plans for it will be. If it will eventually be restrictive like other companies or just a way to control distribution.
Google is adding DRM to all Android apps, but it's for the right reasons
Google quietly rolled out a feature that adds a string of metadata to all APK files (that's the file type for Android apps) when they are signed by the developer. You can't install an application that hasn't been signed during its final build, so that means that all apps built using the latest APK Signature Scheme will have a nice little chunk of DRM built into them. And eventually, your phone will run a version of Android that won't be able to install apps without it.
