ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 22
ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 22 of 100
Android is the mobile operating system in the choices whose core platform is released as open-source software. The Android Open Source Project provides source code that device manufacturers and developers can inspect and adapt, although a commercial Android device may also include proprietary applications and services.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) iOS is Apple's proprietary mobile operating system
- (c) Safari is a web browser, not a mobile operating system, and its complete product is not OSS
- (d) Windows is Microsoft's proprietary operating-system family
Key rule: Distinguish the open-source Android platform from proprietary additions that vendors may install on top of it.
