@BrodieOnLinux the F-droid versions were still free so the trial thing didn't bother me, but this purchase sucks, and the best resources about it are reddit threads and a single sentence from the dev, I hope the F-droid repo maintainers don't allow an update that adds ads

@10volt Tibbi the dev thinks that ZipoApps are just going to take it proprietary so get ready for some GPL violations

@BrodieOnLinux According to Tibor Kaputa 99 % of the code is written by him and other paid developers. If there's an internal CLA or all of them agree to the relicensing and the remaining 1 % is rewritten or removed, then there's no GPL violation.

github.com/SimpleMobileTools/G

Does anyone know which developers were paid?

@fosstastic If it's rewritten for sure but I don't have any reason to trust him at his word

@BrodieOnLinux To me it sounds like he won't be involved in the project in the future at all.

So any license infringements will (most likely) be caused by ZipoApps and not him.
