Research direction

Start by verifying the repository's license and the current Android build and distribution setup. Compare the app with F-Droid's publishing requirements and clarify whether the goal is F-Droid inclusion or a separately hosted repository; done means one distribution path is selected and its required metadata and process are documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If this is GNU licensed, or compatibly licensed, it could be placed on the http://f-droid.org/ open source app repository? Or you could host our own repository according to the F-Droid format somewhere so F-Droid enabled users could download the app and use it easily.

Many of the people inclined to use this app are those who already worry about a burgeoning surveillance state culture in the western world, and who may therefore avoid using closed-source software on their phones, such as the Android Play store etc.: would be great therefore to see this on F-Droid.

Thanks!
