Google is trying to kill Android and take control of it, I wonder if such acts aren't part of the same agenda.
?
I must know as much as I thought.
I thought they owned Android. Is that not true?

ps: Have no doubt, every claim Google makes about restricting stuff for your own good is just them lying out of their asses.
So I guess more free open source projects won’t be able to be maintained by overworked volunteers, and they’ll get "rescued" by trillion-dollar corporations that will close-source everything, backdoor the shit out of it, and decide what you can and cannot have.
