@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social But can Motorola partner with GrapheneOS without being kicked out by Google from their ecosystem? I understood that Google required that all their stuff was installed on all Android phones from a given manufacturer?
I'd be happy if that is wrong, though.

@dl2jml@mastodon.radio Google doesn't directly require that but they do make it hard for Motorola to sell devices with GrapheneOS. It doesn't mean it can't be fully worked around. It's also worth noting that Google's licensing model for Google Mobile Services is clearly highly illegal and has already been found to be illegal by the courts in multiple countries including South Korea. Samsung has their own unique agreement with Google now without the same restrictions and other countries should force the same.
