Parts of it. The UI.

That doesn't change much. It's an operating system you can't control.

That's nonsense. The closed sourced bits are mostly in qml afaik anyways.

If you can't modify the software, then you don't control it. If you can't audit what it does, it can be spyware. You need the 4 essential freedoms.

It's crazy to see someone here defending proprietary software. But I guess you are just trolling.
