<div> </div>
<div>While I am not actively involved in the development of Tox anymore, I am still one of the copyright holders due to my contributions to the project. You are actively violating the license of the library code which you are using by not placing it under a similar open source license like the GPL.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Deploying apps on the Play Store that violate copyrights is a violation of the developer agreements you have to sign when creating a Google Developer account and uploading apps to the Play Store. If you do not take appropriate action (that is, either publish the source code for tricitizen under a compatible license, or remove the offending code), I see no option other than reporting this violation of my (and others') intellectual property rights to Google in order to have them resolve the situation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best regards</div>

<p>Gregory, if you can persuade the venture investment team at Facebook to fund what I'm doing and they want to pay for open sourcing it, I'll do it then.</p>
<p>Am more than happy to open source if getting paid to do so.</p>

<div class="v1pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace;">The stackexchange article is about LGPL which isn't the same license as<br />toxcore. But even if it was, (it's not), Toxcore isn't a just a runtime<br />dependency, it's both a build time dependency and a statically compiled<br />part of the android application. So arguments about shared libraries<br />don't apply.<br /><br />On Mon Aug 2, 2021 at 6:21 AM PDT, wrote:
