Me too, I hope they can be open sourced. Otherwise Windows 11 has almost no value

I hope they will open source it

Yes, my suggestion is that Microsoft should spend as much time as possible in the one-year period from March 5, 2024 to March 5, 2025. Turn WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) into community support. Microsoft will only focus on the update support of WSL2 or WSL3 (future).
For ordinary users, they can run a large number of Android applications on Windows;
For developers, it is very convenient for us to develop applications on windows through wsa.
After communization, for Microsoft's business strategy, only AOSP can be integrated without any application store to avoid legal risks with a single partner (such as Amazon). It is a very necessary function for PC to support mobile phone applications. There is no doubt about it.
Secondary modification and addition:
Regarding how to install applications only with aosp, Microsoft can build an interface through WSA, just like the WSA enhanced toolbox developed by a third party at present, and install apk applications selected in explorer through adb.

I second this. Since, all the efforts that these developers have put into this wonderful project will be wasted like it was nothing.

If they don't release the source code eventually the Russians will.

It should definitely be open sourced. If MS don't want to keep developing it themselves, at least let community do so...

It can be really costly to open source such large projects. Though in WSA case a lot of it is already open source so maybe it's not that bad. To be fair I don't really care so much if it is fully open source or not. I would just hate to see it definitely discountinued and unmaintained. That project had so much potential. The integration with Windows is already really good.
Actually made that post using Fulguris on Windows 11 thanks to WSA.

I agree with all of the above remarks.

I mean, its very unlikely that microsoft will decide to open source it. How about we finish up implementing wine and ditch windows altogether?
That way we're no longer bound to use windows. Linux has native android support thanks to waydroid.
Jokes aside, we should prob just reimplement WSA ourself, WSL2 also isn't open source either; only some components and WSA is effectively a fork of WSL2 with some modifications.
But we have the base operating system of wsl2 and we also know what it runs on which has a public API, so reimplementing it from scratch isn't impossible. Just takes a long time.

upvote this in the feedback hub to get Microsoft's attention

nope, ditching Windows altogether

I was just thinking the same thing. Hear hear.

Ez fix, open source then public archive. Then the forks will come.

But now that i think about it, we can actually use waydroid to implement wsa on wsl2. Since wsl2 should already use a waydroid compatible kernel due to wsa
Unless microsoft made a complete alternative to wsl2, which i doubt

Probably useful for this project: MustardChef/WSABuilds#330
