I wonder how using an API that is under CC-BY-SA 4.0 [0] is considered an anti-feature. I mean, I understand what they want in f-droid with [1] but there should probably be some middle-ground for cases like this?

- csande17 4y agoThe data might be licensed under CC-BY-SA, but as far as I can tell, the service itself is proprietary. The code isn't open source, and you can't just run your own server to use the app completely privately (which you can do with many other F-Droid apps). IMO it's worth calling out.
- NoboruWataya 4y agoI think allowing the app on the f-droid repo while forcing it to disclose the anti-feature is the middle ground.
