-    This file contains permissions to be granted by default. Default
-    permissions are granted to special platform components and to apps
-    that are approved to get default grants. The special components
-    are apps that are expected tto work out-of-the-box as they provide
-    core use cases such as default dialer, default email, etc. These
-    grants are managed by the platform. The apps that are additionally
-    approved for default grants are ones that provide carrier specific
-    functionality, ones legally required at some location, ones providing
-    alternative disclosure and opt-out UI, ones providing highlight features
-    of a dedicated device, etc. This file contains only the latter exceptions.
-    Fixed permissions cannot be controlled by the user and need a special
-    approval. Typically these are to ensure either legally mandated functions
-    or the app is considered a part of the OS.
