+Maintainer Notes:
+Copying the license file into the APK is done because upstream
+doesn't think having it in the source and in the index is enough
+to be compliant.
+
+Also the app is published directly to the archive since achive
+has no webfrontend and upstream doesn't want this app to be
+listed there. Reasoning is that donations might go to fdroid
+instead of his account, since our own donation info is in a
+sidebar that gets shown right besides the app name, see
+https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=eu.siacs.conversations
+for an example.
