It's not really Google's choice. Qualcomm gives up on their SOCs pretty quickly and unlike on Linux Android's license doesn't force them to publish driver sources.
- account42 5y agoYou don't think Google could demand driver sources for the harware they use or use hardware with driver sources available? It is their choice.
- Dah00n 5y agoSure they could but they wouldn't get them. Not for release and without that they are useless.
- xvf22 5y agoAnd how many more years did they give people on the Google SOC?
