I cannot find the Android Things OS source code. If Android Things designed for open source, even in the future ? Or the OS is managed by Google only and not for open source ?

I do not want the way to download the source code. This question aimed for some ideas from the design perspective

    Currently Android Things is in Developer Preview, so the code is not open sourced as things continue to change. Once a stable version is released, this may change. Is there any questions you have from the design perspective related to its open source nature? – Nick Felker Sep 22 '17 at 21:59
  • @Nick, Yes, more configuration for OS can be made for open source project. – ybdesire Sep 23 '17 at 02:12
  • @NickFelker will Android Things be open sourced after release? Thanks. – Pandalover Mar 30 '18 at 18:47

Unfortunately, it seems like it won't be.

From an Ars Technica article:

Just like Windows, Android Things is closed source and has a centralized update system.
