This is simple, Watson. Android without Google gives more power to the Free
Software community. Imagine that Android desktop environment and libraries
are ported over to GNU/Linux, such as Debian. Google will say, that this is
not Android, therefore you cannot have proprietary Google software for it,
which includes Google Play, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Earth and several
more killer apps ... In addition to that, some people claim that Google is
spying on it's users, and that phones are surveillance devices.

Basically the OSS community want to increase control over the Android
ecosystem (today only Google and,to a lesser degree Samsung have such
control) . Having Android without Google will let the community to alter
game rules, and remove any possible surveillance and advertising features
from the system. I am not saying this is good or not, as I prefer with
Google, just saying what some Free Software hackers feel.
