Change descrption: this fork is plainly not 100% FOSS #6

Project description still says "100% FOSS" which is plainly not true of this fork, given that it includes google's proprietary swipe lib.

Should say something like "Partly proprietary, partly FOSS keyboard" or your alternative choice of wording.

Probably needs updating in more than one place -- e.g. github description, readme, internal about page, etc. Haven't checked exactly where.

Read the comment history starting here.

It may be reasonable to conclude that the underlying Glide library is not fully FOSS, but it does not appear to be leveraging the Google library as you suggest.

@foolishgrunt Thank you for the link to an interesting discussion with a reference to some source code (of unclear provenance) which has been committed in wordmage's fork at least.

Here in @erkserkserks fork I see a different commit, Add Google gesture typing library. which adds files named "libjni_latinimegoogle.so". This is what I am referring to.
