@[email protected] We don't ban people from running the software they want to use and we don't spread misinformation about closed source software or otherwise. Not clear what you mean by libre compatible but an OS which doesn't support using the software you want to use doesn't sound like freedom. The whole point of sandboxed Google Play is that Google Play can be optionally installed as regular sandboxed apps with no special access at all. It already does work that way.

In the specified comment GrapheneOS explicitly stated that they have no opposition against non-free binaries and proprietary programs. Doesn’t Free software requires it to not host non free binaries? This is not even firmware

    Read the GNU definition of it:

    The first part of it correctly explains that the only non-FOSS parts are firmware. The rest of it is unfortunately bullshit, because it claims that because GrapheneOS includes an optional method for installing Google services it’s not degoogled. This makes absolutely no sense, by default there are no Google apps/services at all present on GrapheneOS and it never connects to Google servers. But yes, except for some required firmware GrapheneOS is fully FOSS.
