It is the literal source code. You can read it, study it, distribute it, modify it. And I'm pretty sure the license allows you to sell it.

That's really really permissive.

They are talking about the device tree which has not been released with Android 16. So no way to run a custom kernel on actual hardware, unless that hardware is open. AOSP is a car without an engine now.
