Google has yet to release the source code for Android 16 QPR1
Don’t they owe the kernel code to anyone with the kernel binaries under GPL? Anyone with a Pixel running this release has a right to get the code on demand from Google, right? The news coverage doesn’t seem to consider this.
Everyone with a pixel should write in and ask for the code. Anyone know who you would contact.
This article is more than a month old. Sadly, it is still up do date. We’re six weeks after the release, and I still haven’t seen any reports on the source release.
I haven’t updated my Pixel to 16 yet, specifically because of this shitshow. Once Calyx drops a release, I’m going full degoogled.
Some dev must have put some EPic SensiTive filE IN it.
Yes, with android 17. F google. Thank you for ruining aosp
And the FSF wants to piggyback on Android. Screw that. Every FOSS org should be lining up behind Linux for phones. I don’t care if we don’t get popular apps, freedom comes first.
Why not both? Android is open source, an organization can hardfork it if there is demand for it.
This is frankly a bad take
Creating an ecosystem from the ground up is a huge undertaking that many people have failed to do in the past.
Why waste developer time when you can start with a solid base
Must be a reason why they don’t want us to see the code. Maybe it’s whatever they’re changing to attempt to build a walled garden to keep the app protection money rolling in.
