In particular the "authorized" and "acceptable" part. Authorized by whom? Acceptable to whom?
- entropicdrifter 4y agoIANAL but the fact that those are that open to interpretation says to me that they're probably legally unenforceable.
- bityard 4y agoMy guess is that the f-froid maintainers (or their users) don't want the possibility of having to pay to defend that argument in court.

- luckylion 4y agoWhat I find more interesting: they're not saying you must not use it for illegal, unauthorized or unacceptable purposes. Do something legal, authorized and acceptable and you've fulfilled that requirement. Then do whatever you want with it.
- renewiltord 4y agoHaha, that's funny. Having installed it and accepted the ToS, you have violated them if you do not then use the app for something legal, authorized, and acceptable. If you hit Accept but close the app before the next screen that means you are a violator. I like your reading of it.
