@trevor What are you talking about? If they can't build it themselves without proprietary stuff, then it doesn't get published. That's not a mere "guideline".
If your app doesn't meet the target minimum API level on the Google Play Store, then it doesn't get published. It's just as much of a guideline, so I don't think this is really relevant to the point of the article.
@trevor People in lemmy open-source community not seeing the relevancy of the open-source guarantee of F-Droid... SMH
