Engadget reports that joining CEO Eric Schmidt will be other members of the Open Handset Alliance, including the top bods from Deutche Telekom, HTC, Qualcomm, and Motorola.

The press release states that the "Android platform will be made available under one of the most progressive, developer-friendly open-source licenses".

As leaks had suggested, it will be a "fully integrated mobile 'software stack' that consists of an operating system, middleware, user-friendly interface and applications".
