EDIT:
Okay, this isn't what I've hoped for:
>Disclaimer: Remix OS is only licensed to authorized business partners and pre-loaded on specific product models of those partners;it's not intended for personal use.
"Right click" is a feature. That makes sense but I still find it funny.
An .iso you can download gets you those without the 'corporate communications' problems you get when you have to fill out a form, use language like 'licencing' and then get the official IT department to install stuff.
> "With that in mind, Remix OS for PC is free to download, free to install, and free to use."
No idea about open source, though.
Remix OS is based on Android and Android includes, among other things, the Linux Kernel, which is GPL, which is Copyleft, which would mean that the Remix OS creators would need to provide the source code to users, wouldn't it?
Example: If I wrote an alternative GUI system to replace X and the open window managers, I wouldn't necessarily be forced to open-source that system.
Real-world example: My employer uses Linux in some of its products, integrated with our proprietary software in license-compliant ways (and we've got a legal office that verifies that we're following the licenses for all the software that we use, to avoid legal trouble).
