The day Google pulls the plug on source code releases is the day the open source community forks the last release...

Not sure what this fatalism is about but it's a hysterical take.

Yes and that seems not very realistic considering they would need to replace the Linux kernel because of the GPLv2 license not allowing that.

It would be a giant undertaking akin to rebuilding the whole OS from scratch considering they have build thousands of hard and software dependencies over two decades. Reminds me of "just rebuild windows" lol
