The main thing you’re supporting is Motorola, the second biggest provider of surveillance technology in the US after Flock. Deflock lists 5% of the cameras as Motorola, but the share is increasing as backlash against Flock is growing and Flock cameras are replaced with more low key competitors.
404media has reported on how Motorola cameras are used by ice.
“Gotta support the cause” is one hell of a dangerous sentiment under capitalism.
Motorola was split into two independent public companies: Motorola Solutions (its legal successor) and Motorola Mobility (spun off), on January 4, 2011
They’re keeping a low profile on their surveillance technology while successfully marketing themselves as a privacy alternative in consumer tech. Its pretty fascinating to watch. I wouldn’t blame anyone for missing it.
It’s also worth reading up on Aviglon, a subsidiary of Motorola specializing in surveillance technology.
It’s open source, but the license agreement prohibits using it in other projects. You can do it for your own personal builds, but not any published builds.
Gonna buy one, gotta support the cause. We need this phone to do well.
GrapheneOS’ cause is only theirs. They don’t share with the ecosystem

You’re supporting diva devs selling out.
We don’t need GOS to do well. We need a fully open ecosystem for phone operating systems. GOS devs don’t let anyone incorporate their code.
They also refuse to provide basic functionality like inverted navbar buttons. Because they’re diva devs.
You mean they won’t work to support your device for free, right?
Is it not open source?

so, literally not open source by the OSI’s definition, great
