I really get it, you'd be investing to topple you're current invention, but you have no competition. I'm also not sure if Fuchsia is really can be any better or even as good as Android currently is.

You don't even need to rewrite it. With a microkernel you don't need the drivers to be GPL, you don't even need the servers to be GPL. It would be much much much much much much much easier to write propietary drivers than with Linux.

But could you pay a bunch of highly skilled, highly paid programmers to simply rewrite a kernel because it's GPL. The reality is no, so you might as well write your own and fix any of the other issues you've had while you're at it.

This is so disappointing. Fuchsia could have been a contender.

As I said they could have written their own compatible kernel, it's very small. There is a ecosystem around seL4, that's what would help.

Looks like Fuchsia is MIT/BSD license while seL4 is GPL2, so unlikely it would help with their driver/update problems with 3rd party vendors.

I think they should have used seL4 (or written a compatible kernel) instead of writing their own shit that nobody uses.
