@praveen The publisher in question has done this for many apps, most already published on F-Droid.
@subins2000 @praveen Google loves and promotes the apps which monetizes them (paid apps, or apps with ads) or helps them in surveillance (Google Analytics). Money and Data -- the most valuable assets for Google. This is just one clear case of it.

Removing copyright notice is violation of MIT license.
