The state of (real) Linux on phones - will they ever be truly usable?
Android is basically open source at the bare minimum. To use Android in a meaningful way, you need Google Play Services, which are proprietary and have root privileges on most Android phones (allowing Google to collect a lot of private data easily). The only ROMs I know of which utilise Sandboxed Google Play Services are GrapheneOS and ProtonAOSP. microG exists on CalyxOS and /e/ OS, but it will never be as compatible as Google Play Services.

What legal documents should your app have?
Yeah, frustrating I know. I actually made a PR 5 months ago (based on another) to introduce the ability to add libraries if they don’t have it included in their POM. Our use case was that we used a web view with local JS files that we needed to attribute to.

Rust dependencies management and licensing for closed source product
Almost all Android apps use (probably) a library for that. It scans your jar dependencies at build-time and generates a dialog component that lists all libraries that you use and their license text. Not sure if it was this one but it seems like it does the same: https://github.com/jaredsburrows/gradle-license-plugin
