- londons_explore 8y agoMoving code from AOSP to Google Play Services is a direct response to people like the EU saying googles business practices aren't legal. That code in Play Services they can now license for $$$. Had they not moved it, anyone would be able to use it and not give Google any $$$'s. Cases like this highlight how the open source business model is broken.
