Google's mixed results in Indian antitrust case

TL;DR Summary
A ruling in India earlier this year demanded that Google distribute third-party app stores through the Google Play Store, but a partial relief in the case means that this will no longer be necessary. Third-party app stores are still permitted on Android, but they must be side-loaded rather than installed through the Play Store. Google has already agreed to several changes to Android in India following the ruling, including lessening requirements for pre-installing Google apps and loosening restrictions on Android forks.
