Anybody know what the license of the source code of Fuchsia is? I could not easily find it on the website.
- Tepix 5y agoIt's a mix of MIT, BSD and Apache
- AtlasBarfed 5y agoDoes it matter? Google can close source an internal pre-release fork and then make a final set of modifications that will sufficiently deviate it for production releases. Isn't the entire business reason behind Fuchsia that Android is a bit "too open source" and they want more control? They are probably going to get some free bugfixes from "enthusiasts" and then close source a sufficient amount of it for "security reasons". Or whatever serves their "not evil" purposes. But at least SOME of the code is in the open.

- PoignardAzur 5y ago> Does it matter? I mean... yeah, it does? There's good reason to be suspicious in general, but if any time they do something non-evil the immediate reaction is "okay but this is probably actually evil in some convoluted way", then that suspicion becomes paranoia. Even if they put out closed-source modules like they do with Chrome, having an open-source microkernel with a focus on sandboxing and security, with the resources of a major corporation behind it, is incredibly beneficial for the ecosystem.
