You can build the app, and to make it functional you could request your own API key, so I think it satisfies the label. Requesting API keys as a regular end user isn't anywhere near being realistic though, so that's not an option for distribution.
- Sean1708 10y agoFrom pawadu's response above it sounds like your app would satisfy the requirements if you have a build parameter or similar that lets them specify the key.
- distances 10y agoThere's another discussion thread [1] which takes a strict stance more explicitly: "I don’t see how something that contains a ‘secret’ key [...] can be Free Software. So we just don’t publish such applications."
