Android is hardly open source these days.
How come? Isn't that like saying Linux is not open source these days because RedHat keeps making their code more restrictive?
It would be like saying that if 99% of Linux users used RedHat.
AOSP is open source sure, but realistically basically everyone is using a closed source version that the OEM has messed with.
