For all intents and purposes Android is closed source and is not free. As for financials when you pay for your phone you are paying for it. Better remove the pretense and be closed. The same drivers that are used on Android are not available on Linux. Linux is running on your phone but you can install or use it. The Arm-Google partnership pretend to be open but for all effective practical purposes are closed and this is just clever theatre masquerading as open. Companies like Google have become experts at lulling people into a sense of complacency about open source and open platforms. And what are they actually doing. They are using open source software to build global surveillance spyware platforms with pervasively misleading language and dark patterns. Perhaps it's time open source licenses consider a condition that they can't be used for surveillance and spyware.
