Aren't those first two points being phased out?
E..g. Google recently announced that it will be moving Android development entirely to its private internal branch, no more development sharing. They say they'll still be open source, but Google has been caught lying about a lot of things lately.

They said they're going to merge their private branch after their full releases, as opposed to merging many times on the way to a release.

> This does not mean that Google is making Android a closed-source platform, but rather that the open-source aspect will only be released when a new branch is released to AOSP with those changes, including when new full versions or maintenance releases are finished.
This comment demonstrates many just read the rage bait headlines and don't really get much useful news these days.
