Honestly, someone coming in unasked and trying to get you on the free plan of their own product, is kind of rude.

F-Droid is on a free tier of an open core, but not fully FOSS product. A product that is publicly listed on the stock exchange, at that!

They're throwing stones in a glass house.

It's not like their purity gets them anywhere. Google is kicking open software (already hidden and scare walled) off their platform soon and nobody will have F-Droid without permission from Google.

It's better to be pragmatic and focus on the battles that matter. Like the one against Google.

F-Droid isn't throwing stones, that's someone entirely unaffiliated with the project. F-Droid's hosting and infrastructure makes use of many projects and products that are not FOSS.

Thank you for clarifying. I retract my prior statement in shame.

Whomever is saying this kind of stuff on behalf of a project they're unaffiliated with has some serious gall.
