They'll likely get the same access they've always had (which for some of them will be zero access).


While at the same time, the Moto Mobility division gets 100% access and a big influence in the direction?


There are two different issues you're trying to discuss here, and it's getting muddled.

[1] The degree of Motorola's access/influence and the degree of the partners' (HTC/LG/Samsung/Etc) access/influence.

We don't know what will happen, but it's likely that the partners will have the same access and influence to Google/Android that they always did. Google is going to "run Motorola as a separate business".

[2] The non-partners that don't license android still won't have any access/influence.

The fact that non-partners won't gain more access/influence to Google/Android because of the acquisition is a non-story. Also a non-story: pigs wont fly as a result of this acquisition.
