Please add Shizuku support so, User can experience shell previlages, Without wasting time on other Third-party apps…. termux #Shizuku #Api f-droid

Since Shizuku is not clearly FLOSS that’s not a goal for now

Also, at the moment, F-Droid Client does not need any third-party apps to install and update.

Isn’t it licensed under ApacheV2?

The code is, not the built binary :frowning:

Thanks for the clarification.

So Shizuku could get to F-Droid if someone would make a reproducible build of it?

Yes and no, they’ll need to change the license too

7

What is wrong with the license?

8

Their license adds restrictions, making it proprietary.

It is believed that their name and application package name are reserved (by the developers themselves), therefore not free to use. You may ask a chatbot for details.

So Shizuku could get to F-Droid if someone would make a reproducible build of it?

I’m not a lawyer, but I think this someone would need to rebrand it by replacing the name and package name to make it legal (therefore becoming a different app), but doing so could also make it broken in a technical way, so other apps would need to adapt to this custom variant, which is unlikely.

Also, it is said that the developers have historically been opposite to being included. (They don’t want their app be included.) But some unofficial repos, which might be less strict, still included their app, since it is considered reproducible.

Do you mean:

“““

Under Apache 2.0 section 6, specifically:

  • You are FORBIDDEN to use manager/src/main/res/mipmap*/ic_launcher*.png image files, unless for displaying Shizuku itself.

  • You are FORBIDDEN to use Shizuku as app name or use moe.shizuku.privileged.api as application id or declare moe.shizuku.manager.permission.* permission.

“““

I think this falls under trademark rights and is therefore fully compatible with Free Software and also fully compatible with the GPLv3
