47Android is an open-source software stack for mobile devices, and a
48corresponding open-source project led by Google. We created Android in
49response to our own experiences launching mobile apps. We wanted to make
50sure that there was no central point of failure, so that no industry player
51can restrict or control the innovations of any other. That's why we
52created Android, and made its source code open.
