There is no way Google will let this live right?

Project has been around for a while, so it's got some resiliency built in.

Such projects existed for long time, I think Pixel Experience ROM was first.

Or it's an uphill battle (which is still being fought relatively well imho), like with GrapheneOS.

		IANAL, but I assume that the situation is quite different in that when running GrapheneOS on a Pixel, the owner paid Google for being able to run the proprietary bits if they want to. Also, GrapheneOS doesn't ship Google proprietary apps by default. It's the user installing Play Services, Pixel Camera, etc.

I don't know that they'll care too much - how many people seriously install custom roms on their phone? I'm one of them, and I'm sure there are dozens of us, but probably not enough to make an impact on google's bottom line.

It sounds like they include all the Google Spyware anyways, so I doubt they have a problem with that...

Only as long as it stays irrelevant. I find it amusing they have a "legal" page.

Why would Google be against more people installing their adware?
