Symbian was cool back in the day, but it's not open source.

I have a vague memory that Android is the main free and open-source mobile OS, but I wonder if there are others that fit that description.

Based on my understanding, Android is the only mobile OS listed here that is both free and open source. The others are proprietary systems. I'm confident that's the right answer.
