Gboard topic in german[edit]

I wanted to create a german site of gboard. But it has been deleted, because I didn't complete the site, because I had not enough time.

But i would looking forward to seeing also a german site of Gboard, or more information on the english site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbb-piano (talk • contribs) 20:47, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Licence[edit]

Gboard is not properteiry software. It is licenced under Apache 2.0. I am pretty sure all Google products and software are.--Alex Mitchell of The Goodies (talk) 21:08, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's absolutely not true. Gboard is Google's proprietary keyboard application, it's not part of AOSP. Plus, do you have a source to back up that claim? InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:23, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Android is Apache 2.0. That is enough evidence alone since Android is Google software.--Alex Mitchell of The Goodies (talk) 20:50, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also what the heck is AOSP?--Alex Mitchell of The Goodies (talk) 20:53, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just looked it up and it says Android Open Source Project. All apps originating on Android are most definitely a part of the AOSP. This also includes Google Chrome, Gmail, Google Docs, and more.--Alex Mitchell of The Goodies (talk) 21:02, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is also no way that a free software could be non-free software. It just doesn’t make any sense.--Alex Mitchell of The Goodies (talk) 21:03, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that's all original research. Gboard is not an open-source product. Here is a list of AOSP's stock apps, none of which are Google-branded. Rule of thumb: if it has the "Google" name in it, it's not open-source. Google usually develops their own apps for Pixel/Nexus devices instead of using the stock versions (Gboard was originally only available for Nexus). And once again, that's really not quite how licencing works. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:09, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Gmail, Chrome, and Docs did not originate on Android, LOL. And the idea that Android apps are automatically open-source like Android doesn't really make sense. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:11, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty sure all Google products and software are. – No, that's not how licensing works. InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:25, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possible update to the reception part?[edit]

Only one source from 2016 is noted. The reference to certain features seems outdated (specifically where it talks about customization). Pardon me for not having any specific changes in mind. -- Python Drink (talk) 23:27, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've tagged that section with {{Update}}. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:05, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
