If I understand &quot;if they pre-install Google’s apps on any of their models, they must commit to install only Google’s standard version of Android on each and every one of their models&quot; correctly, Google does not allow handset-makers to sell models with custom Android versions (but without Google Play) if that maker also wants to sell any model with an approved Android version and Google Play.<p>Tizen is not an Android derivative. Do you know enough about Google&#x27;s licensing terms to be able to contradict the accusation in the article?<p>Btw, I entirely understand and sympathize with the desire to prevent Android fragmentation.
