I need a minute folks. It would take a long time to explain myself so instead try to give me the benefit of the doubt. A long story short, I am very extremely anti-Google and try to do whatever I can, no matter how small, to keep any single piece of data, any statistic, any metric whatsoever from Google Inc and it has been burning my arse since the release of BlackBerry 10 that they have Android onboard. I have many years with BlackBerry and actually switched back from a Q10 to my old Bold 9930. For my usage needs, OS 7 worked just fine so I'm OK with being "legacy", but I found out doing some digging that some elements of even BBOS7 utilizes code from Google and the AOSP as well.
After a many years deep stretch of loyalty to the brand, I just found this out about OS7 today that has screwed my day up to say the very least.
In this, I'm here to ask if anyone knows anything at all with regards to if there is any code from Google anywhere within Windows Phone, be it an element of the browser, the core of the OS itself, anything? I have no idea what exactly is being utilized in BBOS7 regarding the Android codebase, yet its there. I'm also digging into iOS, I'm that determined to have a mobile OS that does not have even a single line of code from Google onboard if that's even possible.
PS: I am asking about the OS itself and built-in software (such as the browser), not external/third-party apps and the like.
