They should focus on not letting Google kill Android.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Is "kill" a strong word here? They are heavily restricting it, and it's reversible with some effort, know-how, and compromise, right?

But killing it, I feel like they are not. Even though I strongly oppose what they are doing, don't get me wrong!

[–] buran@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, it's the Android Open Source Project. Restricting it would be against the interests of the Free Software/Open Source movements and I believe that's a violation on the principles of the project in my opinion.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

I would agree, but I wouldn't say they are killing the project. 👍

Do the EU have the capability to fork it?

[–] buran@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

I don't know, but I'm not sure if a government funded fork would be the right move.

Many people have their doubts about using funding for things like that, I wouldn't be opposed to it but Europe has other problems that people might consider more urgent.
