The Russian app store RuMarket uses the source code of the F-Droid software catalog, created by a British programmer. This was reported by Rozetked, citing a reader.
He immediately found a number of “evidence” – links to the F-Droid source code repository, mentions of the catalog in the names of metadata lines, as well as a link to add a domestic store to the F-Droid application catalog on the subdomain of the official RuMarket website.
However, the app store borrowed the source code legally. The F-Droid Store License allows modification of the program, but requires that the source code for the modified version be made public.
At the same time, the RuMarket source code has not been published, although the F-Droid license requires it. The editors of Rozetked and its reader did not find it on the Github and Gitlab sites.
