BlackBerry monthly security updates?

First Question is.. Does BlackBerry add some specific flavor every time for the updates or they just copy/paste Google security patches to KEY2/KEY* devices then sending?

They take Google's AOSP patches, make some tweaks, add their specific component patches, update the apps, fix some bugs, package it all together, and then upload to the server for certification and distribution.

So.. If BB go to Android One, they would do the same thing or now it would be copy/paste of Google patches?

They can't go Android One because of some of the core changes to the OS.
