    There’s nothing preventing him selling the app or a premium version, while still open sourcing it. Free as in freedom, not as in beer. Open source makes no demands or says anything about how you choose to monetize.

    Someone releasing a fork nowadays seems even more difficult than downloading an unlocked apk anyway. If they want your app for free, they’ll get it.

      Your last point really does seal it actually. If people want it you can’t prevent them from finding a way. But in this specific case I’ll still support it since I’m sympathetic to how he was betrayed by a corporation.
