Issue take-down notice com.kabum.fdroid
Both, via mail and the forum we have been informed about a f-droid fork that is in the playstore and is serving ads: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabum.fdroid. I think this violates both our GPL3 license (if it shows ads, they have modifed the sourcecode) and Google's TOS. Could someone with a Google Developer account take actions? @eighthave ?
Mail:
I've seen this on Google play recommend apps and I'm not sure you endorse this since there's ads in this app. Please check it out to avoid any type of scam. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabum.fdroid

My reply:
If that app is indeed a fork and using adds, its violating both, our fdroidclient license (since they dont provide the source code for their ad-modifications) and Google's ToS which have a non-compete / no-appstore clause.
