According to them the only proprietary component is their map app (https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/wiki/en/wikis/maps https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/wiki/en/wikis/maps). It would great if they could expand on the reasons why OpenStreetMap (which is available in F-Droid) is not a good option for them.
I also doubt they are completely free of proprietary components beyond this app, and that they managed to get rid of all the proprietary blobs to support the devices they currently support.
In summary, I'm not convinced this brings anything compared with https://lineage.microg.org/ https://lineage.microg.org/ but I'd love to be proven wrong.

- Doctor_Fegg 8y agoTheir maps app is Magic Earth which _is_ OSM-based. I presume when you say "OpenStreetMap (which is available in F-Droid)" you mean OsmAnd?
- hiq 8y agoIndeed, thanks for the clarification!
