      Simple File Manager (and the other associated apps) got bought by a company, so this is a fork by a long-time maintainer that keeps it FOSS

        So are they going to repackage those apps and sell on the playstore? What’s the purpose of buying open source apps? Or it’s just to limit open source competition?
