The point of the "Linux on the desktop" meme was that everybody would start using free, preferently GPL'd software for everything. Android is far away from that.

I guess it depends how you look at it :) I would see it as "not using Windows" but your statement seems to be "not using any closed-source software".
It's an effort with variable goals and there are different opinions what is meant. If you ask rms he'd agree with you. :)
