    While Android is an free and open-source operating system, it doesn’t follow the Free Software philosophy of sharing information. Android is becoming increasingly locked-down to those without technical expertise, to the point where the only way to get a truly “open” Android phone is to buy a Pixel.

    In other words, Google wants to reap all the benefits of making Android open source, but they don’t seem to want to contribute or give back to the community, which is the entire spirit of open source.
