Comment on Google will move Android AOSP development behind closed doors
doeknius_gloek@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week ago
I don’t know anything about Android AOSP, so I found this clarification important:
This does not mean that Google is making Android a closed-source platform, but rather that the open-source aspect will only be released when a new branch is released to AOSP with those changes, including when new full versions or maintenance releases are finished.

Yes, there will still be the aosp repository as open-source. It will have some lag, but still there. Thus said, Google has moved a lot of things into the Google Play services over the years (closed sources). So, who knows what’s next! Let’s praise that some companies inject money / devs into postmarketos!
