"They can easily get it from OEMs or even make an OEM."[0]

I agree with their points in the thread, but could Graphene "become" an OEM to get access to the security patches sooner? Just curious.

They have access to the patches.

They just can't make an official release with it, because they can't publish the patch sources (embargoed) and their releases being open-source must match what they published...

What if that OEM stops giving them patches?

Also, if they're asking an OEM to release the patches, why can't they become an OEM to do that?

They have an OEM partner right now who funnels them the updates, which is how they get access to them.

Is it Framework?

Why would Framework have access to Android patches?

You're absolutely right

Motorola/Lenovo then?
