@paun@digitalcourage.social @Gargron@mastodon.social @fdroidorg@floss.social IMHO it shouldn't affect F-Droid at all besides them having to register aka $25.
F-Droid is a build service for apps, not really an app store. The apps are built from source, they sign them with their own key, and then distribute the APKs (reproducible build complications ignored for now).

@simon@en.osm.town @paun@digitalcourage.social @Gargron@mastodon.social @fdroidorg@floss.social Google's new policy will forbid them from using their own key for package names Google considers to be owned by a different organisation, unless they get some kind of exception from Google
