if Google went away, Android would continue.
Hahah no it wouldn't. Nobody else is providing any code to android. Nobody else is even allowed. All the default apps (like gmail, market, maps, the browser) are closed source.
The browser is 100% open (but i suppose you haven't even seen the AOSP sources, let alone analyze the code for the browser)
For the other apps, you're right, they're absolutely closed.
But if Google went away, what could you do with a client for their now-offline services?
