Not sure if it legally applies to me, I only distribute the app on Codeberg, plus the Flatpak via Disroot's file sender because it exceeds Codeberg's file limit, but I just put it out there, in case this would apply to FOSS projects distributed solely on code collaboration platforms. What can they do with me? I'm anonym, they don't know my real-world identity, and even if they hire hackers, and de-anonymize me, what do they do with me? Fine me? Not gonna pay. Arrest me then? I'm in Europe. But I guess they don't even know about the existence of the app, so why should I even bother?)
