Non-free network service #6

Closed julianfairfax closed 2 years ago

What's the non-free network service anti-feature pertaining to?

StellarSand commented 2 years ago

The app connects to this repo to fetch the data from here. Since GitHub is owned by Microsoft, we had to include that anti-feature tag to abide by F-Droid's strict rules.

Oh really? That's incredibly stupid. I mean I know GitHub is non-free and all but what you're actually hosting on it is.

One of the maintainers asked us to include it because of the reason stated above and we decided it's better to get the app included on F-Droid regardless of the anti-feature tag since this json format is temporary any way as stated in the important notice.
