F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
So are they going to repackage those apps and sell on the playstore? What’s the purpose of buying open source apps? Or it’s just to limit open source competition?
That’s like, almost 100% identical to the Simple File Manager from Tibor Kaputa, why make a new one?
Simple File Manager (and the other associated apps) got bought by a company, so this is a fork by a long-time maintainer that keeps it FOSS
Great !
