People should be able to write software for Android, and distribute it outside Google’s Play store, without having to:
- pay Google
- give government ID to Google
- agree to Google terms and conditions
People should be able to install the software they want on their phone, from sources other than Google’s Play store, without having to jump through Google-imposed hoops.
e.g. via F-Droid.
We’ve got until September this year to stop Google squeezing the open Android ecosystem.
I want Android to die. I want normal Linux on the phones.
Android is based on Linux. Thus, you just want to have current most popular distribution to be replaced by others compatible with software made for Android. Am I right?
Android is Linux in the same way as hen is crocodile. I’m sure there are some common gene chains…
I want a normal OS without crazy limitations and restrictions. Have you even written for Android?
Dude it will be NOT REPLACED
