I dont think that github profile pictures are foss. When you download them the app might get tagged with a non-free antifeature on fdroid.

I am not sure about the copyright issue, but I have asked the translators, and they agreed to appear in the translator's list

Well, it's more complicated. Someone can give you the right to use his picture in the app, but the picture isn't under a free license than.

@mueller-ma They're just avatars and they are not the thing the app is used for anyway. Though some people dont like for it to connect to foreign servers (eg. gstatic.com) than the main one (unsplash.com) the app is for.
