Google’s New Policy is an “Extinction Event” (F-Droid Interview)

Google's new Developer Registration Program is catastrophic for F-Droid and open source app distribution. In this interview, Marc Prud'hommeaux from the F-Droid Board of Directors explains what's happening, why it matters (even if you only use the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store), and what concrete actions you can take RIGHT NOW. We discuss why F-Droid calls this an "extinction event," the implications for open source development, and what you can do to fight back.
