Did you think about adding it to F-droid too? Its more restrictive, but that is good thing

With reproducible builds ofc

With today's update of the app, this will no longer be an option – as a non-free component was added: Google Mobile Services. Which is not permitted at F-Droid. And raises a red flag in my repo, where the app is currently listed.

So @Alfio010, two questions: why did you add this dependency (what is it needed for) – and would you consider removing it again or at least provide a build flavor without it?

Ah, found the culprit. Don't be fooled by that module being called oss-licenses. Tue, it lists open-source licenses, but it's not truly FOSS itself as it drags in non-free stuff as you see here. Easy to be solved by using one of the available alternatives. With your app using GPL-3.0, AboutOss would be a good match as it uses the same. But take your pick. Until then, I'll have to raise the NonFreeComp anti-feature here.

Thanks for letting me know, I hadn't thought about this, as soon as I can I will replace the library in question with one of those you suggested.

Thanks! Once that's in place with a new release, please let me know so I can remove the anti-feature again.

I finally did it with version 2.2

Ah, right, my updater already informed me and I appraised it yesterday :wink: Thanks!

What are the current blockers preventing this from being added to the main F-Droid repository?
