Unlike iOS you can get it as AOSP which is totally open source. Sure you need to add the blobs for the specific device etc but at least it's a good base to work off if anyone wanted to make an Android based open source phone.

iOS could never do that.

Agree though they overall there is no "true" FLOSS mobile os and the KDE and gnome one's still have a long way to go.
