Bear in mind Android was meant to be an open source endeavour. They'll release the OSS version, then slowly close the up the market as it gets adoption, so that it really can't be used without their approval.

Considering there's this about media, there will be some sort of DRM involved. I guarantee it.

This is hard though. You present commercial license, and you'll cut out a good 80-90% of the potential users, which means the OSS project is way more likely to die.

I think CTOs should be okay with allowing their employees to contribute to projects they use. In my first hand experience, they're more likely to say "no we shouldn't". It's unfair really.

Google has actually taken great strides to make custom ROMs as easy as humanly possible

I guess that is besides:

• slowly, but surely, stopping development of many AOSP core apps in favour of their own proprietary apps.
• ensuring many of their apps are basically unusable with a custom ROM
• making it so easy for app devs to block custom ROMs

Dunno, but that's all Google stuff.

Iirc the plan was to only allow buses (and maybe black cabs?)

OP has (accidentally?) added 2 underscores to the URL. Remove them and you can see the original intended URL.

Closes them all. Even if they're foreground apps that I'm actively using.

Did the same for pixel 6 pro, but recently it just keeps killing all apps, including the ones that are unrestricted far as battery is concerned. Starting to get to a point where I should reset it and install LineageOS.

Accountants don't do tax evasion. Tax lawyers do.

Spain has weird laws for tax evasion which is why you see accused celebrities (Ronaldo, Messi etc) from time to time.

No, rich people avoid taxes, that's why you see them from time to time.

I don't think I fully understand how this is supposed to work. Am I correct in that this service acts as the gateway on the network? So clients would be configured to see this as the gateway, and this then subsequently pushes things through the real gateway (router)? Thus essentially everything (most things?) that the router does would be done by this instead?

Interesting time to say this while Israeli military are killing civilians left and right.

I don't condone what Hamas is doing, but you can't just say that without acknowledging that Israeli military is doing equally bad, if not worse, things.
