You keep posting about an F-Droid-like store for iOS is not only possible, but imminent now. I doubt that - how many devs will make something exclusively for the smaller EU market, how many will do so for free, and how many will be willing to register as a non-profit?
The centre of that Venn diagram is developers for apps on iOS's F-Droid-like, and I think that's a very small subset indeed - especially considering the paperwork required to become a non-profit.
Maybe the store itself will put in the work, but do you honestly believe every dev with an app on F-Droid will put up with the requirement to register as a non-profit?
- berkes 3y agoF Droid is operated by the EFF. They pretty much sit the brightly colored Center of your Venn diagram.
- anticensor 3y agoF-Droid on Android lets users create and subcribe to other repositories though. You do not have to use the EFF's repository. Apple's terms seem to be carefully crafted to prevent users from creating such alternative F-Droid stores on iDevices.
