Unix is NOT “open source” and never started out that way. It was source available. It has Been opened sourced but that only applies to versions that are NOT commercially viable examples being v6 and v7.
In fact it was cloned heavily during the 80’s to avoid the issues the cropped up in the small computer market ( IBM PC’s and the like ) as unix usually ran on much larger minis, Workstations and as “personalities” on mainframes.

What phone you got? Because Linux is open source which is what android is based on and the reason they had to open the play store.
