    It’d be nice if all the code for the firmware, drivers, etc were put in some sort of escrow, and automatically licensed to the public once a vendor drops support for them

    Of course, even better than that is being open-by-default from day one

      Android is OpenSource, there are several forks without the Google crap. (LinageOS?) El problem are the Phones without Root access which give the ISPs with the contract, not the OS as such.
