i know some parts of it are proprietary and you need google services for it to work properly but if you don’t need any of that and only rely on say fdroid apps and just use it without a google account and all of those things could android still be considered that?? i like android so much and i think it’s an amazing fully american operating system, great!! so technically it is? and i know about grapheneos and other roms but what about stock android? stock android is still mostly open source and free (well gratis), and linux
I wanted to correct myself, as I forgot that Google owns Android, the operating system. So it was not wrong for him to say that.
