Actually, there's no such problem. Google Play accepts GPL apps. Android 
itself is licensed under the Apache software license. Not only that but you
can also legally distribute apps without going through the app store - the
users have to change some default settings, but there's no need to jailbreak
the device.

That still leaves the problem of diverting valuable developer time into a
complex side project, so it's probably best not to even consider it, but
livensing and distribution are not the problem.
