    That ensures a baseline of freedom

    that’s not how this works… nothing about android’s licensing could make it impossible to make it impossible to not lock it down

      Sorry, I cannot decipher that. If you mean, this doesn’t prevent phone makers to lock down their bootloaders: sure. But I just need to find one that doesn’t and by an open source Android there will always be an image to flash. At least it’s infinitely better than Apple’s walled garden.

        Unfortunately sooner or later Play Integrity will make this unfeasible in practice.
