I have no doubt that Google could license the technique or availability
of the license server to other markets, but I'm not sure if they'll see
that as being in their business' best interests, or how profitable they
think it could be. Although they are allowing other markets to be built,
and allow outside applications to be installed on Android if the user
enables that feature, they aren't exactly going out of their way to
support the development and establishment of competitors. But they
aren't actively trying to eliminate them either. It's the job of the
competition to adopt, adapt, or innovate, and since alternative markets
might not be able to adopt this change, they'll have to adapt or
innovate, and find a similar or better solution. Until or unless Google
decides to let them in of course... :-)
