Hi Laurent, microG, although a free software library itself, still contacts Google's servers (a non-free service). As such, Replicant, a FSDG compliant distro, can never include that.
Furthermore, there's no real need for microG on Replicant. microG is a replacement for proprietary Google Play Services. F-Droid, which is the app store on Replicant*, does not include apps that depend on the proprietary Google Play Services. There is one component of microG, UnifiedNlp, that does not contact Google's servers and can actually work locally if you choose the right backends. Fortunately you can install that one individually from F-Droid. Regards, David * F-Droid will be removed on the next Replicant release because some apps do not comply with the FSDG. Such should be fixed soon by filtering them out: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/issues/564#note_162158449 On 08/01/2020 10:35, Laurent F wrote: > Hello, > > Is there any plan to include microG in Replicant?
