Az Androidot az OHA fejleszti, a Google vezetésével.

Welcome to the Open Handset Alliance™, a group of 84 technology and mobile companies who have come together to accelerate innovation in mobile and offer consumers a richer, less expensive, and better mobile experience. Together we have developed Android™, the first complete, open, and free mobile platform.
Ez a hivatalos álláspont. És pont azért astroturfing az egész, mert minden a Google-é.
Papíron viszont tök jól hangzik, hogy a Google csak vezeti a projektet a többiek mellett, és nyílt platform az egész.
Az android.com-on is ez szerepel:

A group of companies known as the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), led by Google, originated Android. Today, many companies—both original members of the OHA and others—have invested heavily in Android. These companies have allocated significant engineering resources to improve Android and bring Android devices to market.
Az AOSP meg csak egy projektmenedzsment dolog:
AOSP is led by Google, who maintains and further develops Android. Although Android consists of multiple subprojects, AOSP is strictly project management. Google views and manage Android as a single, holistic software product, not a distribution, specification, or collection of replaceable parts. Google's intent is that device builders port Android to a device; they don't implement a specification or curate a distribution.
Azaz a Google az csak az OHA projektjeit menedzseli AOSP néven és készíti el ebből az Androidot.
