Huawei's alternative OS to Android set to roll out...
At this point Android is as open source as Windows.

Please point me at anything that resembles source code that I can compile to produce a bootable variant of Windows.

I think the GP was trying to say: just as Windows isn’t OSS, neither is Android anymore because of all the proprietary blobs and the Play Store

Please point me at anything that resembles source code that I can compile to produce Play services.

I was not aware Play Services was required to run Android. I have test phones that run Android without Play Services just fine.
How does that make Androids open source status anywhere near Windows?
