<![CDATA[Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms.]]>Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It's completely ridiculous and they've gradually become very slow at handling requests. They're in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.

Govs apps require GMS. MasterCard Visa removed simcentric payments and also their own HCE payments and replace that with GooglePay. EU dosn't give a F about that... And right now Google is takimg narration in EU about Android security. More over false narration.

It fits neatly into Google defending banning GrapheneOS with the Play Integrity API in Europe. There's going to be a lot more of a response from us than what we already did if they don't retract or correct it soon.

Android's tooling is based around dealing with Git repositories. Even if they strip all the history, it should still be tags in Git repositories so stuff works properly and it's split up into separate repositories in the way they did themselves. The build system uses Git revisions. It has a fallback to use a metadata file which they provide.

Law is not code and doesn't depend on everything being explicitly written down. Google is a massive tech company with enormous resources. They clearly made these changes to make it a hassle to obtain the sources. By not quickly responding to the requests and dealing with it, they're artificially delaying access and that's a violation of the license.

Not that long ago, I couldn't see myself purchasing a Motorola phone. Their reputation for poor OS support (security updates and OS updates) made purchasing one of their phones a non-starter. Now, with the GrapheneOS partnership, I can't wait to purchase a Motorola/GrapheneOS phone. I am enjoying my Pixel 8a with GrapheneOS, but the hardware is a bit limiting. I definitely need more storage space.
