Keep Android Open

People should be able to write software for Android, and distribute it outside Google’s Play store, without having to:

• pay Google
• give government ID to Google
• agree to Google terms and conditions

People should be able to install the software they want on their phone, from sources other than Google’s Play store, without having to jump through Google-imposed hoops.

e.g. via F-Droid.

We’ve got until September this year to stop Google squeezing the open Android ecosystem.
