Yup.
Thing is, it looks like they're doing to google as google did to java.

If they *really* wrote their own Dalvik-emulator without google code then it wouldn't really be an android fork, but rather a clone. Forks start with the same code base, not the api specs. And as the Oracle vs google trial made clear, that is perfectly safe.
As I said, this could get interesting.
