> Sure, if we want to be strictly correct then AOSP is not Android, but rather the name of a Google project that distributes the source code of Android
Thank you.
I do find it ironic that you could not understand what I mean given that you're the kind of people who say "GNU/Linux".
This means GOS is not AOSP either, because it's not that particular project. It takes the Android source produced by AOSP and builds on it. But what you agreed to is just pointless pedantry that leads directly to this outcome, as everyone uses "AOSP" to refer to what AOSP produces (which is a particular flavor of Android that serves as a base to build other flavors on).
It stops being ironic when you take some time to understand that the two cases only appear related superficially, but are actually quite different. You could even say opposite.

Exactly, GrapheneOS is not AOSP. It is AOSP-based.
