Android is Linux.

It may have traces of "Linux" but it's not GNU/Linux, or any other flavour of Linux that is free-as-freedom.

Having a free software kernel base (heavily patched with proprietary extensions, drivers, blobs etc.) in the middle of a close environment is like saying that one is having "some freedom" within the confined space of a prison cell...
