The EU hasn't lost its shit about Android slowly moving from open source to proprietary Google SDKs yet. We won't be safe until they force a Ma Bell-style split, freeing Chrome and Android from Google's tentacles.
- jeroenhd 3y agoThe EU hasn't made any laws mandating that all software must be open source, so I don't see why they would care about Google closing the source on new Android components. For all the EU cares, Android 14 (or at least its non-GPL parts) may as well be closed source under license, which was the norm before Android came along in the first place. The EU has made anti-gatekeeper laws, targeting Apple, Google, and other gatekeepers.
