@Suiseiseki @mangeurdenuage @raccoon unfortunately this isn't accurate, GPLv2 only requires hardware manufacturers to share source code, not to let modified software be installed to their devices. GPLv3 fixes this with the tivoization clause: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#Tivoization
android distributions being called ROMs is funny, yes, althougj these days most of them want to be called OSes (LineageOS, GrapheneOS)... which is also not quite the right term but for entirely different reason
