- ufo 8y agoIIRC it is because Play Store terms of service are incompatible with the GPL license.
- bubblethink 8y agoThere are plenty of GPL apps on the play store. There was some drama over vlc in the apple store due to GPL concerns, but I don't remember if there was real merit to that. In any case, newpipe's issue is different. For one, it doesn't show ads. So that would disqualify it from playstore anyway. Playstore is google's walled garden afterall. That doesn't mean that newpipe is doing something illegal.
