No, that was Android’s marketing from day 1 and as far as OEMs go, Google’s conditions have evolved, along with what they are shoving down on their users’ throats.

And as far as “free as in freedom” goes, the US law agrees with me via “estoppel”.

Open doesn't mean the same thing as free. Estoppel does not help that "free as in freedom" was never true.
