Remove proprietary Google libraries from LibreSignal #43

Open herbsmn opened 7 years ago

herbsmn commented 7 years ago

Libre software doesn't have proprietary software in it.

LibreSignal does seem to have some proprietary software libraries though.

https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/blob/master/build.gradle#L56-L58

Is it trivial to build LibreSignal without these libraries? Or would it require time intensive coding?

If it is trivial, can you please update LibreSignal with a build that doesn't include these proprietary libraries?

Lastly, off topic for this issue, but I wanted to say that I greatly value this service that you provide. Thanks for all the work you do providing LibreSignal on F-Droid.

I'm assuming that these maven repos also would need to be removed. https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/1229#note_4050510
