The com.google.android.gms:play-services-oss-licenses is not FOSS. Could you please choose an alternative from here? Thanks!

I appreciate you letting me know about this issue. I reviewed the link you sent and see that F-Droid prohibits use of this library despite it being open source. Respectfully, I do not wish to participate in Open Source elitism or perpetuate the idea that someone's work is not considered Open Source just because they use a third party dependency that is deemed proprietary. I will not be updating the app to use one of the alternatives. If the F-Droid maintainers have an issue with this they can remove my app. Thanks again for filing the ticket.

https://github.com/google/play-services-plugins is the source code of the plugin, i.e.com.google.android.gms.oss-licenses-plugin. However, the com.google.android.gms:play-services-oss-licenses lib is not open spurce. If you can found the code of com.google.android.gms:play-services-oss-licenses I'm more than glad to add it to out allowlist. Thanks!
