From 331c5f474e02877fb11775ba2ddf8f33928b20de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trevor Johns Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 15:00:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Minor updates to Android Market Licensing Service docs. - Removed sentence implying that free aplications can get a LICENSED response. (Free apps aren't supported by the licensing service.) - Added note indicating that draft apps always return LICENSED. - Added note reminding users that test responses can be set for certain users.
