We already have Synthing. I woukd rather have apps to replace more services with Syncthing.
In the subject of licences, I don't really know much there.
Given that I'm trying to sell it on the play store I guess you don't control it?
What would be the concerns around this? Loads of things are close source. I expect it helps to create something competitive.

I never said 'open source' and don't care about the price.
I don't think I'm fully understanding. It's purely a webapp. No database. Client-side computation only.
Can you help me understand how I could reshape my project so it aligns to what you mean.
Im putting a hard-block on open-sourcing it after my previous project. But I'm generally communicative about how it works and happy to answer questions about it.

Paying for libre software is good. The Google Play Store is not libre software.
'Closed source' and 'open source' misses the point of libre software. Lots of apps don't get to infect my device. Competition between scams and malware does not help us.

Thanks for the links. I'll need to learn more about this. My high-level thoughts are that I'd like control over my work so it may not be libre software.
