i know some parts of it are proprietary and you need google services for it to work properly but if you don’t need any of that and only rely on say fdroid apps and just use it without a google account and all of those things could android still be considered that?? i like android so much and i think it’s an amazing fully american operating system, great!! so technically it is? and i know about grapheneos and other roms but what about stock android? stock android is still mostly open source and free (well gratis), and linux

    Fake news, Android is fully open source. You are talking about Google/vendor stack on top of it,

    It is as if you started blaming a copy left car engine schematics provider that their engine is being used in a commercial car.
