If the court ended up forcing Google to sell Android, shouldn’t we worry that its license as an open source project could be removed and then it become proprietary?

Google is only going to “respond” by doing things it’s explicitly ordered to comply with and of course extremely reluctantly; only doing the bare minimum that could be seen as complying.
They sure as hell aren’t going to open up the google surveillance services unless explicitly and specifically forced to do so by a court.
yeah but if they’re forced to part with them they may believe it better for their market position to strip all the secret stuff out and just disown the rest.
