Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I’ve personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It’s a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

Not necessarily Linux related, but figured this was important information to pass along, given the popularity of these FOSS apps on Android.

    Yeah, it has to stay GPL. So Simple Mobile Tools selling to a for-profit company doesn’t really change all that much. Worst case scenario, the original apps get screwed over but someone releases forks of them. Best case scenario, ZipoApps doesn’t actually change anything and just acts as a host for the projects.
