I know - it provides google the freedom to lock down the OS further and the freedom to implement proprietary drivers. Yay for arguable freedom.

- forgotpwd16 4y ago>the freedom to implement proprietary drivers That exists already. Vast majority of Android devices require binary blobs in kernel for essential functionality.
- goodpoint 4y ago> require binary blobs That's the point. With something like fuchsia there can be entire closed forks of the kernel instead of having to blobs, making closed source easier to develop.
- leucineleprec0n 4y agoI love the freedom Android provides what with the utter clusterfuck that is the Linux kernel’s driver interface and GPL. Yay freedom. An MIT license is fine. Great, even, because Fuchsia is in fact still an open source OS. Hardware OEM’s don’t owe the public transparent firmware blobs.
