The era of big tech cooperation around free software is obviously over.

Those kind of moves are petty but there are worst tricks they can pull unfortunately.

It seems Grapheneos is the rare actor willing to put up a fight nowadays, and their "partnership" with Motorola seems to be a first step. They need to ensure a hardware platform.

My guess is at some point they will have to fork AOSP, just because Google will take it in directions that go against Grapheneos principles.
