This was hard to understand:

This doesn’t mean that Android isn’t, but it has become something of a Linux fork. That doesn’t, however, as some recent reports had it that Android and Linux are somehow in a fight with each other.

I just gave up and glossed over that part.

The article definitely needs editing. Much of it was painful to read due to omissions, redundancy and generally bad flow.

A comma inserted in "of, a Linux" would help, as would changing both of those commas to '-'. Editing would help most of all.

And this kiddies is why spelling, punctuation and editing matter. If you want to communicate in writing make it easy for your reader.

My best guess: "This doesn't mean that Android isn't [Linux], ..." and "That doesn't [mean], however, ...".
