A long but interesting article on the direction that Google is taking
"Android"¹:
"Google’s iron grip on Android: Controlling open source by any means
necessary"

Regards,
Mike.
¹ Unlike Chrome and Chromium, the same term "Android" is confusing used
for the OS installed on phones as they are sold, which is non-free, and
also for the Android Open Source Project (AOSP)
