    They’ll just do an Apple and publish the source to the bits they have to while keeping the bits they don’t closed source making the os as a whole closed source.

      I don’t understand.

      also I thought Apple builds upon BSD style licensed stuff, while Android is on Linux which is gpl?

        Doesn’t matter for a distribution, Apple historically also shipped some gpl tools like bash and Samba, they just provide the source for what they have to.
