Wow, this looks like an incredible starting point for relegating Android to an app framework inside a sandbox:https://github.com/microg
Why would you want to do that though? It'd still be proprietary and continued support subject to not offending Google.

Not sure how microG avoids that. It provides an open source client for Google Cloud Messaging but it's still Google Cloud Messaging.
-
In some cases it uses proprietary Google binaries, and the apps talking to microG are primarily doing so via proprietary Play Services SDK.
-
It's not an alternative to Google, it's an alternate way of relying on Google that's in many places in violation of their terms of use.
-
They're very much reliant on Google. They depend on Google not changing the signature checks for Play Services in their Play Services SDK.
-
They depend on Google tolerating alternate client-side implementations of their server APIs. They depend on Google not changing it too fast.
