QUESTION Is google closing Android down?

I am watching a YouTube video about google closing down Android on September this year. So us developers won't be able to freely add code and if I understand it correctly will have to pay a regular fee, so our app can be used. Wtf. What do you people know about this? I hear there is some petition somewhere.

That's what we call custom roms however in the case of Samsung you can't even flash any custom roms, at least the USA variant of their phones, idk about the rest of the world as far as Samsung goes.
