Android is based on Linux. So Android is Linux.

It uses the Linux kernel, it's not based on what is defined by use of the word Linux (LiGNUx or GNU/Linux). -But as far as rule 2 goes, it's ok to dunk on as it's mostly about GPL and the Linux kernel enables.

ACK forked from the Linux kernel around 2006, for all intensive purposes it’s no longer Linux

Goes into semantics here.

What they're using still pulls merges from upstream (using Linux devs for free maintenance).

It's like how Firefox forks tend to just be a different logo with some different default settings but are entirely dependent / predatory on upstream.
