Is Android free software?

yep

>>61884279
No. Parts of it are.

>>61884279
AOSP is, but the one that comes with most phones is not since they package proprietary apps like chrome, carrier bloat, etc. Also the FSF thinks that loadable proprietary firmware is considered non-free software, although embedded proprietary firmware is not.

This shit sounds almost like how the rabbis randomly decide what is kosher and what is not.

If the firmware is burned into a ROM it is essentially just a part of the hardware.

No you have to buy a Samsung phone to get android.

Oh god . Gtfo

>>61884811
Yes, just like how it's kosher to use a phone during the Sabbath if your shabbos goy is holding it for you.

>>61884366
Well I for one hate these stupid firmwares, they're often tightly coupled with low level components of the system and once they stop updating it the phone is fucked
