A number of people have requested sl4a be included in f-droid, a FLOSS repo of software for Android. There are a few questions to be answered before the software can be included, perhaps you could assist?

Cheers

Hello, what is assist? I believe SL4A is apache-2.0 FLOSS, and f-droid is helpful to us.

One of the conditions of fdroid inclusion is to notify upstream and ask for commentary/suggestions. In particular here, there are also questions about prebuilt libraries and their licences, specifically those in https://github.com/kuri65536/sl4a/tree/master/android/ScriptingLayerForAndroid/libs. I have posted an answer at the link above, but I am not 100%. If you could read the comments and clarify, that would be excellent.

Thank you for your explanation.

I did not realize SL4A use the 'Locale' plugin: platform_locale.jar. There is a possibility that some people use this feature, but I don't use it.

I checked the 'Locale' plugin at https://www.twofortyfouram.com/developer/ . Plugin is apache-2 source.

Do you need the help to change the source of SL4A? There are plan to clearing SL4A License.

If License is clear by above link, no need to change.
Release new SL4A, remove the 'Locale' plugin, it may be easy.
Release new SL4A, renew the 'Locale' plugin to newer version, this may clear the license, but I do not know about 'Locale'.
