They won't be doing that, and they'll do anything under their lawful power to prevent Google from restricting it with the DRM that'll be implemented next year.

Thanks! Plans continue apace, then.

That's just my guess on the matter, however, though AOSP is likely to be killed off by Google themselves. I just hope the Graphene devs can do something about taking that over, and even forking it if it happens.

honey what?

The android open source project is not going to die - it's the reason any phone except iphone runs it. Even if it gets more restricted it'll still be run by developers from all those companies and opensource devs. Grapheneos team is not going to solely fork AOSP, though they'll probably contribute.

That's why I said that I hoped Graphene could fork AOSP if Google kills off the FOSS nature of AOSP.

It is out of the question!

Yeah, there's no reason why they'd want or need to do that.
