FOSS? The source code isn't the issue here. Qualcomm isn't allowing Google to distribute their proprietary binaries.

It's obvious what the OP was trying to say. He is saying people don't care about rooting, source code, binary code and hacking in general.
I was saying that with enough pressure, they wouldn't just allow redistribution or even publish the source code, they would even release it under the GPL and kiss the buyers' feet if asked to.
