Google has pushed the official version update of Android 13 to Pixel models. The company also announced that Android 13 has been officially open-sourced. The source code of the new system has been uploaded to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Since the system is open source, it means that all Android mobile phone manufacturers can now use it on their smartphones. In addition, it is also necessary to develop custom ROMs such as LineageOS. Also, open source is important for developers as they will also release compatible versions of their applications. Developers will also use the API to build more functionality.
Google released the source code of Android 13 under the Apache License version 2.0. This means that developers are free to modify and distribute the code without open-sourcing their modifications. This also allows smartphone manufacturers to develop their own closed-source operating systems.
