@matthieu @gael It might be that Google's intentions behind making the source code of Android available aren't entirely genuine. However, stating "We don't need Google" when your product depends on Google's code, patches, and security fixes is hypocritical.
It's also not true that Google hasn't contributed anything significant to Android as you claim.

@tpaau17db @gael Ok let's be more specific. I claim "they invented nothing when they released Android". They may have invented things later. Regarding whether it was a move to buy the market: tell me what other product they gave as an opensource project for free for people to make money from? Finally, I do agree with you that proposing a moving fork of Android makes it hard to say you don't need them. As an /e/os user, I'd rather stop having new features than depending on Google updates.
