Considering Sailfish OS has done that, they might just have forked that instead. Indeed, I believe there are other re-implementations of the Android Runtime out there, they could just have forked.

They might already have done that:

From Sailfish homepage " Our focus is in licensing the OS to be used in governmental and corporate environments, and Sailfish OS is already used to build local mobile ecosystems in Latin America, Russia, and China. "

I had this theory three or four years ago that the smartphone OS will be the next battlefield.
