    Graphene is Android based. Not sure what it’d mean for them in case Android fully locks down.

      The sideloading block will likely be enforced by Play Services, so GrapheneOS won’t be affected. Android is also open source, so even if Google implements the block within Android itself, GrapheneOS can just remove it.

        So far, yes. But what if they will close stuff down more? My understanding is majority of work on Android is done by Google - so they can decide it will no longer be open source, or just partially.
