Android SDK is now proprietary
I'm sure there are justifications for this clause, but that doesn't change the fact that you can no longer fork the code, and that API changes are under the control of a single entity.
This is almost the textbook definition of closed software.

You can fork the open source parts of the code, even the open source parts of the SDK code. The SDK code is not the same as the SDK download.
