I found the link I was thinking of - https://old.reddit.com/r/MicroG/comments/j4chda/whats_the_main_reason_you_use_microg/g7oqsur/ So I was slightly incorrect with my above statement, thanks to my dodgy memory. The microG code is fully free software, but most (if not all) of the covid apps use a proprietary Google library to hook into it. However there has been some work to replace that Google library with the appropriate code from microG for some apps, see here: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/issues/1179 Nick _______________________________________________ Replicant mailing list Replicant@osuosl.org https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
