Android is a Linux derivative that was created by Google to power their botnet through people's cellphones.
Android is a Java Runtime environment on top of the Linux kernel. Android does not contain the GNU utilities and libraries used in GNU/Linux distributions, although users can add replacements for some of these features through third-party software. Because of this, Android is a Linux system, but not a GNU/Linux system.
