    Wrong, F-Droid is and has libre software. We control it.

    Meanwhile, GrapheneOS has Accrescent spreading software which fails to include a libre software license text file, software we do not control, dangerous!

    Tech talk is a confusion strategy to derail us normal people and ‘open source’ is another. With it, their scam cannot get more blatant.

    Warning, Accrescent from the GrapheneOS Store tries this and so does Privacy Guide, smuggling it mixed in with good information. It is one of the few ways they have to trick us.

    Can we use GrapheneOS with F-Droid and without Accrescent? Yes.

    Obtainium does nothing to check apps are libre software. Aroura Store spreads anti-libre software.









    1. Pick one user downloaded app from your device.
    2. Check it has a libre software license text file, like GPL, to check we control it.
    3. If not, remove it (optional: replace it).
    4. Repeat the above for every other app.

    This makes privacy easy, stopping apps blocking our privacy, by putting us in control.

    You did not say which part of those guides is the issue, so here is the most simple and important part.
