        @dotMorten @theothernt @Snowden @google The availability of the source code has nothing to do with whether they have the signing keys.

        @dotMorten @theothernt @Snowden @google They only have the keys it for Nexus devices and the Pixel C. And their OS code only supports those.

        @dotMorten @theothernt @Snowden @google The source code is really irrelevant though. Just correcting the misconception that Android is open.
