As long as your phone doesn’t have Google Play services, it would not apply. With that said, if app developers decide to capitulate and allow this to occur, then there might be a lot fewer apps you can get to work on lineage OS without Google Play services.
The way I see it, lineage and graphene will either have to fork AOSP and become operating systems in their own right instead of in name only. We will have to switch to Linux phones even though they aren’t quite ready yet and deal with the hassle to get them ready, or have to abandon mobile entirely and go back to laptops and desktops and just declare mobile as a dead platform.
How does this affect LineageOS?
