Thanks for your suggestion. Do you know the license of com.google.mlkit:text-recognition? I can't find it.

Hi it's here: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.android.gms/play-services-mlkit-text-recognition/19.0.1#license

Under license it lists ML Kit Terms of Service which sounds like a proprietary / non-FOSS license.

Thanks for pointing out, let me check.

Hi @shuvashish76 , I'm not clear about the answer. "No" for unable to share on Fdroid or "no" for not a license issue?

@kid1412621 The app is ready for regular users? Issues section disabled at app repo. @izzysoft Request to check if possible to include this app and the above question on MLKit.

Request to check if possible to include this app and the above question on MLKit.

Quick check, answer is No, sorry. Reasons:

• stand-alone app is almost twice as large as our per-app size limit allows
• the alternative APK has the issues outlined above: MLKit, GMS, etc.
• Seeing the battery of AI linked in the Readme (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude), is another issue. Quoting from the IzzyOnDroid App Inclusion Policy:

we do not accept apps supporting companies making profit based on other people's work obtained without or even against their consent. This includes e.g. apps for accessing most of the big so-called „AI“ platforms, having consumed large amounts of copyrighted work to be built – without compensation for, or even just consent by the respective creators.

@kid1412621 F-Droid has no such size limit or AI specific inclusion policy but it can't be added due to MLKit, GMS. As open platform I guess your only option is Accrescent appstore, see their docs. They even allow proprietary software.

Thanks for checking. Correct me if wrong, the only problem is the MLkit dependency? I ship standalone version without gms also.

And just curiosity, why this repo is taking F-droid as standard? I saw other app stores listed, e.g. Accresent.

Sorry to disappoint, but:

Offending libs:
---------------
* Firebase Data Transport (/com/google/android/datatransport): NonFreeNet
* Google Mobile Services (/com/google/android/gms): NonFreeComp
* ML Kit (/com/google/mlkit): NonFreeComp,Tracking

3 offenders.

This is from the scan results of the standalone APK.

F-Droid has strict FOSS inclusion criteria (like this project); if it fits there, it very likely fits here.
