It would increase visibility of F-Droid (people that might have never heard of it might start seeing it in the Play Store) so I think they'll give in to Google's requirements even if they oppose them...
It would require either every app developer on F-Droid to comply as well, or for F-Droid to implement google play style app signing, both of which ive seen F-Droid maintainers being against.
Has this been mentioned anywhere? I haven't seen it.
I'm in a Matrix room with a couple of F-Droid team members and that is where i've gotten the information. I am unsure if it is easily found info. You might be able to ask on the forums if you want to fully fact check my statement.
Ahh, interesting, thanks for the info.
