Google has yet to release the source code for Android 16 QPR1, sparking fears about the company's commitment to AOSP.

Dashlane has made its mobile app code available on GitHub for public perusal, a first step in a broader push toward greater transparency.

The open source release could also help provide wider and easier access to DeepSeek even as its mobile app is facing international restrictions over privacy concerns.

Open source promotes the free redistribution of source codes. Hence, it is also called free software. The source code creates the built-in functionality that guides how a software application works.
