A lot of Windows CE licensees had access to quite a lot of the source code, or at least most of the parts that would be interesting for "maintanenace" anyway.

Even though in paper Windows CE's and Android/Linux licensing could not be more different, they are in practice more similar than one would think. You'd get the source, you'd make your modifications, and you'd (not be allowed to|get away with) not redistribute the source.
