+            One of the goals initial of projects like GNU or ReactOS was to
+            replace nonfree operating systems, like Unix and Microsoft Windows.
+            To do that they could not simply reuse the nonfree operating system
+            source code as it wasn't free software, so they had to write their
+            own code and reuse other available free software components.<br />
+            <br />
+            With Android the situation was much easier because even if many
+            drivers were not free software, most of the operating system source
+            code was available.<br />
+            <br />
+            So with way less effort, we could have an exact Replica of Android
+            with the same graphical interface and so on. We just had to replace
+            these nonfree drivers.<br />
+            <br />
+            When trying to find a project name, "Replicant" looked neat as not
+            only we were Replicating Android, but the name was also loosely
+            related to Android as in Blade Runner, Replicants are also Androids.
