@AkuAnakTimur Nothing to do with that, at all.Devs claim it's not tied to a particular user (the identifier can change, everytime you install/reinstall.), nor shared with third-parties, and only used to determine where map downloads are coming from.but, i agree, that there's a *potential* for abuse.

when i get back to my desk, I should find out whether the issue is relevant for the #osmand version from #fdroid .they do actively take parts out that goes against the FDroid guidelines.
