Google is adjusting how Android is made, with the AOSP branch moving behind closed doors, leaving the entire OS to be privately developed.

So, are we going to get any European alternatives to android?

    GPL wouldn’t prevent this in any way. It doesn’t compel you to provide source unless you’re also providing binaries. That’s exactly what they’re going to do, only show their work upon release. Not defending that choice, just explaining that it would be perfectly GPL-compliant.

      I thought they were moving to closed source entirely which is against the GPL license but I didn’t properly read the article it seems.
