As far as I understand, they could send it to you printed and bound and charge you for the paper and postage if they want to.

I have trouble imagining that Google could seriously argue that printing tens of millions of lines of code would be customary.

I doubt Google is distributing the Android code to third party OEMs that way.

Hypothetically if they were to go the court the proof would be ok Graphene to say what they did violated the law.

Judge would be like 'Mr Counsel, where does it say that what Google did violated the law'

A source code listing in a book/binder is a customary way of distributing software, albeit historic.

Was customary, it no longer is customary.

They still make printed textbooks. Google’s lawyers I’m sure are well funded enough to make this case.

They can make whatever case they want, doesn't mean that a court will accept it.
