I seem to remember that Android is based on the, famously, open-source Linux operating system.
Does this open-source bedrock have any implications for Google restricting Huawei's use of Android in the light of Donald Trump adding the Chinese company to a list of organisations that US firms cannot trade with if they don't have a licence?
The question just popped into my mind. I imagine attempting to answer it would involve plummeting down the rabbit hole, so I will just leave it hanging for today.

Anyone, including Huawei, can use https://source.android.com/. The restriction is on the Google apps and services built on top of it.
Thanks Simon. I shall immediately begin work on an Android-powered steam-punk ear trumpet. None of us is getting any younger.
