Thanks for editing your comments to change the meaning of them and shift the focus of my comment instead of telling me why you wouldn't like Sync for Lemmy to host its own Fdroid repo as was the intended focus of my original comment.
I'm clarifying. I'm trying to decide the best way to frame it because you quite obviously still don't understand by your latest comment.
Sync can not be in the f-droid repo because it is not open source. End of story.
You clearly think any 3rd party repo that can be added to f-droid is called an f-droid repo, and that is flat out wrong.
I never said to add it to the main repo operated by the F-droid team. I suggested adding it to an alternative 3rd-party repo that allows non-open source applications.
Obviously a repository compatible with F-droid can be called an F-droid repo, and is called as such by both the community and in official documentation. That doesn't mean its necessarily owned or operated by the F-droid dev team as you seem to think I'm implying.
I don't care what Izzy does. Other repos like the Guardian Project, MicroG, Bromite, NewPipe, Calyx use correct verbiage. But the only thing that matters is F-droid and what they say, so let's look at that link you provided:
Notice it says F-droid comptiable repositories, not f-droid repositories.
And then following that link:
Again, F-Droid doesn't want 3rd party repos to be confused with itself... so yeah, I take issue with calling 3rd party repos F-droid repos. It's just dumb to do anyway for anyone with experience with package managers. If I add some 3rd party repo to Ubuntu, I'm not going to call it an Ubuntu repo.
