Unless the predatory-inclined buyer decided to also try to harvest some value of the open source user base, given the unusual situation of these particular acquired apps being open source?
- albert180 3y agoI doubt that F-Droid would accept their code, also the Adware Toolkits would all need to be also GPL Licensed, otherwise it would be a license violation
- neilv 3y agoI should've been more clear: they don't necessarily do the same thing for squeezing value out of open source users that they do out of Play Store users. F-Droid makes sure they can build the code themselves, but I don't think they vet everything the code does. And Android permission model doesn't control network use well.
- vanous 3y agoFdroid already blocked possible updates for the original apps.
