Ok, then you can think of the world where no one pays for any OSS and developers still need to pay rent.
Don't feel bullied if you can't afford it, but if you use it, you can afford the 5(?) bucks and you don't pay for it: that is kind of considered a dick move.
Yes, same as guilt tripping users by calling up on their religion. I'm not going to use it, I haven't even seen a screenshot of it. It was a sarcastic comment. I'm fine with newpipe FOSS project.
Yeah, that's not what he meant, though. It is clearly not meant as a serious "your yod is going to judge you", but rather "I'm counting on the honor system and if you abuse my trust, you're probably a dick, but I can't do anything about it".
Stop thinking being an atheist is a substitute for an actual personality.
He had a sound reason why that's not the case, and that's to keep control over what people do to it. Namely they want to prevent redistribution with added trackers/ads/malware.
no need for that! people can just take an apk and slap ads or malware on top. they do it all the time with fake candy crush apks. So I'm pretty sure they won't care about this license.
I think that in this case it's just a excuse so no one is redistributing the app and they can make money from it.
