Hey @fdroidorg, how about we replace the "Non-Free Network Services" flag with two more specific Anti-Feature flags; "Non-Changeable Network Services" and "Proprietary Network Services";

Propsosal: Split "Non-Free Network Services" into separate flags for changeability and code license
I’d like to propose splitting the “Non-Free Network Services” flag into two separate Anti-feature flags; “Non-Changeable Network Services” and “Proprietary Network Services”.F-Droid Forum

Good stuff. Hopefully @fdroidorg will get there soon. I prefer the names I suggested, for reasons mentioned in the proposal, but it's not a hill I care to die on ; )

That's sensible. I've put my naming arguments on the forum. We'll see if anyone there cares to engage with them.
But I agree that getting the flag separation rolled out is a much higher priority. Now I know it's a WIP, any energy I put in will be to help that rollout.
