Firebase check is too strict
Firebase is currently blocked wholesale (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/blob/master/fdroidserver/scanner.py#L68, from !212 (merged)). However some firebase libs have been open-sourced since (announcement), e.g.
name | license |
---|---|
firebase-jobdispatcher-android | APL-2.0 |
FirebaseUI-Android | APL-2.0 |
geofire-java | MIT |
Google seems to use the com.google.firebase
prefix for non-free libs (open source ones use com.firebase
), so maybe this could be used to distinguish free vs non-free. Or alternatively explicitly whitelist the known OSS libs.
