Portions of it, lots of it is not.
- pawadu 10y agoIf you think that, how do you define Android?
- Synaesthesia 10y agoThere's AOSP admire android. AOSP is open source which is some components of the Android system - however a lot of Android is not just AOSP. A lot of it is Google web services and other proprietary stuff.
- floatboth 10y agoYou don't have to use "Google Android" to use Android. LineageOS + F-Droid + microG is a very good setup, I use it on my phone. The real problem is the hardware driver blobs.
- pawadu 10y agoBut many of these services are also available on iOS. Would you still consider them part of Android?
