Kommersant’s interlocutor, who got acquainted with the discussion of the project of the national mobile OS, said that at one of the last interviews the issue of legal risks of developing mobile OS based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) was discussed.
Rostelecom is the most exposed to risks. He owns Open Mobile Platform LLC, owned by Aurora OS. The company is building an Android-based operating system due to Google’s tough international conditions.
When compiling the AOSP code, the client signs an international agreement that specifies legal obligations, including export restrictions from the United States.
