I'll tell you how.  First off, all the external OSS projects that 
AOSP builds on, whether the linux kernel or gpsd or gcc, get much 
more usage and patches because they're being commercially used.  
Android has had their linux kernel patches merged back upstream 
into the mainline linux kernel.

Once companies saw Android taking off, they started a non-profit 
called Linaro to develop the linux/ARM OSS stack, mostly for 
Android but also for regular desktop distros, and share resources 
with each other, employing several dozen paid developers who only 
put out OSS work, which benefits everyone, ie both OSS projects 
and commercial vendors:

If they hadn't had success with Android commercially, there's no 
way they do that.  I keep making this point to you, that pure OSS 
has never and will never do well, that it can only succeed in a 
mixed fashion.

What will never happen is the GPLv3 ever taking off.
