I've yet to see (which I acknowledge doesn't mean that it doesn't exist) any compelling argument that this is actually harmful to the users or anything of that line. All I see is tech people talking about hypothetical competition or the EU effectively trying to create protectionist policies in the name of anti-trust. Personally, I have no issue with Google's licensing. Why shouldn't they be able to ship their software how they want? At the end of the day most users don't care. I love FOSS when it comes to my own development and I couldn't imagine being a developer without access to so many FOSS libraries. However, I don't give a crap if my phone is fully open source and neither do vast majority of the other billion+ Android users
