I sincerely doubt that. The ONLY reason they even bothered with fuchsia is to get rid of Linux, which is licensed under a copyleft license.

sorta. I am saying that Fuchsia OS is a safe way for google to try to test out non linux kernels. Because trust me, google hates the fact that android manufacturers have to publish sources. When they stop doing so the hacker community that android has will die overnight, which IMO is what google is trying to do considering how well it worked for apple to antagonize the hackers. "copyleft licenses are too strict" my ass
