the free software folks really need to calm down tbqh

oh no, I'm not allowed to reuse some of the graphics in this app for commercial purposes

my freedoms are being infringed

this is literally the lichess app btw

a platform that runs in direct opposition to chess.com, a very proprietary, monetized platform. lichess:

open sources all its software and tools
makes all its data freely available to the public
is free for everyone to use
is basically run by donations

but its app has nonfree assets and therefore is bad!

@clarfonthey Assuming that's F-Droid, I don't think that "this app is bad" is what that section means? Rather it lists anything and everything that people *might* object to (licensing-related or otherwise) to accommodate those that have specific needs/requirements of their software.

(If the app were considered bad, it wouldn't be listed on F-Droid in the first place, AFAIK)

@joepie91 oh I agree; I am exaggerating here

but honestly, the verbiage does indicate that it's bad, and I think that basically nobody should care about this. the only freedom you got restricted here is reselling the app and even then you could just change the graphics

like, who cares

@clarfonthey Right, I agree that the verbiage could be better. Probably something like "Things you might want to know about this app" would work better.
