abarbarian Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 http://f-droid.org/ The F-Droid Repository is an easily-installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The server contains the details of multiple versions of each application, and the Android client makes it easy to browse, install them onto your device, and keep track of updates. http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/08/f-droid-the-android-market-that-respects-your-rights/ Founded by Ciaran Gultnieks, F-Droid is an Android repository designed to respect the privacy and rights of its users. Beyond only including free and open source software, F-Droid doesn’t track devices which access the service, nor individual downloads. Users don’t need an account to use F-Droid, and they don’t even need to install the client side software (though it helps). F-Droid even goes so far as to filter out applications which include, as F-Droid calls them, “AntiFeatures”. These are traits which don’t actually violate the free software license the applications are released under, but are the kind of things that free software users usually take offense to. The list of AntiFeatures includes: Advertisements User or device tracking Promotion of non-free software Dependence on a non-free network or service Dependence on another non-free application Might be of some interest to folks with posh phones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
