You are free publish source code for your app. You are free to publish unsigned .apk and people who want it will find a way to install it. Once app is installed it's more than a speech: it's a potentially hazardous product. The analogy is how chemists are free to publish formula for any pharmaceutical but are not free to put pharmaceuticals on the market without approval.
- beeflet 1y agoThat is a totally inappropriate comparison. Knowing the chemical formula for cocaine does not give me access to cocaine. Whereas access to the source code of a program nessisarially gives you access to the program. In one case, it is efficacious to restrict the product without restricting the information. In the other case it is not.
