I feel like the pro-FOSS commenters position is clear and reasoning well articulated. If the developer doesn’t want to comply then fine, at least it’s nice to see the this debate unlike the black box of typical app stores.
Edit: It’s the fdroid IRC mod not fdroid leadership. My mistake!
- lolinder 4y agoF-Droid's position on this particular app is non-existent. The F-Droid maintainer who has replied on the issue has so far just asked "aren't we over-reacting a bit?" Someone not directly affiliated with F-Droid is trying to get the app removed.
- Macha 4y agoNote: They appear to be a moderator of the F-Droid IRC, so while not project leadership, not totally unaffiliated either.
- lolinder 4y agoAh, fair enough, I stand corrected. I was looking at their GitLab profile, which has a few minor contributions to F-Droid projects over several years but definitely doesn't have maintainer status. It is still accurate to say that F-Droid doesn't have a formal position on this app, and that the only position any maintainer has adopted so far is "why are we freaking out?"
- aftergibson 4y agoAh yeah, I can see that. Admittedly I assumed based on the title of this post the person debating represented Fdroid, so perhaps it should be updated to reflect this?
