It's under MIT (the kernel Zircon specifically since comparing with Linux). Whether a license allowing even more freedom is worse is arguable.
Yay for arguable freedom.
An MIT license is fine. Great, even, because Fuchsia is in fact still an open source OS.
Hardware OEM’s don’t owe the public transparent firmware blobs.
That exists already. Vast majority of Android devices require binary blobs in kernel for essential functionality.
That's the point. With something like fuchsia there can be entire closed forks of the kernel instead of having to blobs, making closed source easier to develop.
