All I am saying is that fdroid requires much more than just "opensource" test. Many things are opensource that will never pass their tests. For instance, if your app is hosted by GitHub, like the Tor lib one, that alone automatically disqualifies you as opensource. Which is ridiculous because the code is still freesoftware regardless of where it is hosted. But at the same time, your app is free if it is hosted by Google or one of the other cloud providers. Which doesnt make any sense.

If you mean being available NOWHERE ELSE but GitHub, then F-Droid is correct, because GitHub is private availability, not public availability. People are obsessed with lies and decentralization right now, so it's hard to get through life without humoring people who would call GitHub source code "publicly available" (and using their wording), but it's not actual truth. Either way, your app made it through in the past

Tor is hosted in many places, including inside the Tor network itself with onion addresses. But that is irrelevant for fdroid policies. Our app was there before, but since we added Tor, they removed it. I am not going to remove one of our most important privacy features just to please arbitrary rules of a centralized app store.
