Another day, another malicious Open Source app clone on #GooglePlay

Of course, according to Google, this app does not violate the "impersonation" policy. Probably because they're making money off the malicious clone (given it contains ads) but not off the original app.

Legit: play.google.com/store/apps/det…
Malicious: play.google.com/store/apps/det…

I can't put into words how I feel about Google constantly mistreating FOSS developers that just want to share their code to make the world a better place with increasingly hostile store policies even banning donations while actively turning a blind eye whenever Open Source apps get stolen and filled with ads/sold despite the license disallowing it, even when reported.

To this day, Google still refuses to take any action against malicious Catima clone play.google.com/store/apps/det… too.

Google sucks.
