Yeah. It is [1]. Surprisingly, Android Studio is open source too [2]. [1]: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/sdk/+/refs/heads/main https://android.goog

  Oh is it Apache 2? That's what I see looking at a random file [1] but there is no global LICENSE file. And I didn't expect Android-Studio to be open source!

    Yeah, they're Apache 2.0. That's how Android and some of its forks handle licensing. For example, most repos in LineageOS's GitHub org lack a global LICENSE file. Instead, licensing is specified on a file-by-file basis within the comment headers. This does lead to some ambiguity though. You can't put a license header into binary files like PNGs. In those cases, you can only trust that Google won't sue you for using them.
