tl;dr: Summary not available
HN Discussion:
  • Provides technical context clarifying which repositories and releases Google stopped pushing
  • Tags are a distraction; the real issue is Google restricting access to source code needed by projects like GrapheneOS
  • Google's process may violate GPL by making source access inconvenient rather than a simple URL
  • ~Calling it a GPL violation is overblown; Android was never truly community open-source
  • Broader condemnation of Google's control over Android, calling for alternatives and regulation
