Yes. Google lost control of an operating system which they consciously decided to release as open source and free software.
Somehow, I don't think they were trying hard to retain control of the OS.

- esolyt 14y agoNo. That's not trying hard. They could have just made Android closed-source, which is easy and simple. In this case, they don't want an OHA member to ship products with Android forks that break app compatibility. Amazon is neither an OHA member and its OS does not break compatibility. Even if it did, why would it hurt Google or Android anymore than, say, using a completely different OS?
