non-free libraries #109
Description
KeepassA is currently listed in my repo (and your Readme links there). I'm just walking over all apps applying reasons for AntiFeatures they might have – and thus came to your app. According to the list of non-free and tracking libraries, considering this is an app dealing with sensitive information (passwords), according to the inclusion policy I will now have to unlist KeepassA. Quote:
if the app processes sensitive data (e.g. health data, passwords), is intended to improve security/privacy, has root permissions, or is targeted at children, it must have no trackers at all
Bugly is classified as Tracker.
it preferably has no proprietary components. While some of them might be acceptable, trackers (e.g. ads, analytics) are tolerated at best but only if there are no more than two such modules.
KeepassA comes with 5:
Offending libs:
---------------
* BillingClient (/com/android/billingclient): NonFreeDep,NonFreeNet
* Dropbox Core SDK for Java (/com/dropbox/core): NonFreeNet
* Google Mobile Services (/com/google/android/gms): NonFreeDep
* Microsoft Authentication Library (/com/microsoft/identity): NonFreeNet
* Bugly Android SDK (/com/tencent/bugly): NonFreeDep,Tracking
5 offenders.
Is there a chance for a foss flavor that comes without Bugly and has at least 2 of the other non-free libs removed? Ideally those marked NonFreeDep – but IMHO MS should not be trusted with sensitive information either (if you know hoe MS Authenticator works you'd rather avoid it as the devil avoids holy water, IMHO) – and that you'd provide the APK of that flavor as well, so I could switch to that in my repo? That would give us the chance to keep it there.
