Tor is critically threatened. I get that. FOSS is also critically threatened by people faking it. The F-Droid people either care about FOSS, or have themselves backed into a corner where they have to pretend to care about FOSS to avoid the uprising of a competitor. You either care about Tor, or have yourself backed into a corner where you have to pretend to care about it. I either care about both, or have myself backed into a corner where I have to pretend to care about both Tor and FOSS cannot be saved without saving each other

If f-droid cared about FOSS they would only verify the compliance to foss itself. And not these other arbitrary rules they have. By adding other stuff to their rules, they are breaking the FOSS community and picking winners that might align with their sponsor.
