How will Samsung/OnePlus use Android 17 and 18?
That's not what I meant. Will the other OEMs have to pay Google for using Android 17 (since it's not open-source anymore) ?
AFAIK (I may be wrong), you have to pay google for bundling Google Play Services on your phone. For example, Purism probably does not pay Google anything because it only uses AOSP + it's own suite of services. However, Android 17 will be a bit concerning. Let's wait till we get a bit more clarity.
