i disagree. i think what we all must do is tell everyone exactly that.

"don't use Google play store, it's like ie6. use fdroid and be happy". and then we all drop support to it, just like we dropped support to ie6 and it's bullying tactics, even though we own ajax to it, there's so much abuse one can take.

do your part for free software. but yeah, i know that building your startup on top of a free software stack means nothing when you can give in to a walked garden and sell your closed source app for 99c

+1 because the existence of fdroid had not penetrated the rock under which I live before now.

I've wanted something exactly like this for my Kindle since getting it. Amazon's store isn't bad, but it's missing a lot of weird little things you find on less restrictive platforms.

right on. just like non IE was still unkown to most users until recently! in fact, even today you see the ocasional reddit post asking why they should not be using IE.
