Google really wants to fuck up AOSP development and are actively hostile these days to the project. If they could easily make Android closed source tomorrow, they would.

Google is stealing the cumulative work of OSS contributors.

I found the wording to be confusing, but if it helps anyone else, I think the situation is

• before, they used to be able to get source code from Google with Git tags
• now you need to get it through google drive, after requesting it through google forms
• this is a ridiculous process, and over time they've gotten slower and slower at processing it, which is in violation of GPLv2

Google is stealing the cumulative work of OSS contributors.

Tax the rich and use their wealth to fund an opensource linux development program. Goolag was never going to be a good steward for long

Looks like users on that thread are calling bullshit on Graphene for claiming GPL violations.

I'm not sure why they don't just sue Google if they feel so strongly they're in the right. Crowd fund the legal cost if they need to there will be plenty of their users willing to give them some money to stick it to Google. Use their Motorola money if they want. They expect a win and agreement in court so it's a no brainer.

"Google Is Evil". Does this need to be a viral hashtag?
