Some Comments...

Verizon's "the first American company" to join LiMo...? Motorola, one of the founding members, isn't an American company...?

All one has to do to satisfy one's curiosity about whether Verizon's characterization of Google and Android is accurate is to look at the license one agrees to to get the Android SDK: it's not with the "Open Handset Alliance", it's solely with Google. For that matter, the domain openhandset.org is solely owned by Google as well. None of the little bit of code that's been released so far is copyrighted by the OHA, only by Google.

Android is very much a "take-it-or-leave-it" proposition, and Google's running the show. There have likewise been reports on the mailing list that companies have emailed the OHA asking for information on joining and gotten no response whatsoever.
