Historical distribution of the Android platform versions

I am interested in the distribution of the Android platform versions and I thus enjoy the www page http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html. I would like to get hold of historical distribution data. Does anyone know where to find complete data-series stretching from December 2009?

Why there are so many Android platform versions?

Android, the operating system Google has made for mobile devices since 2008, is largely open-source software. As such, developers and manufacturers have taken the basic system software and adapted it to their own devices — which makes for many more variations of Android in circulation.

OK, so I was bored and made this motion chart using Google Spreadsheets. I used http://www.droid-life.com/tag/distribution/ as a reference for the past distributions.

In the upper right hand corner, you can select the bar graph; on the x-axis, you can select "Order: Alphabetical". The data goes back to 2012. Unfortunately I couldn't find data from 2009. I will update the graph every month.

EDIT: The Motion Chart in Google Spreadsheets is now deprecated. Here is a link to the spreadsheet containing all the data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TA4mW6csdLovDuIaQCelc58HPSOzo5CfLUjZvxtJ1MQ/edit?usp=sharing
