@lunar_dust_463@mstdn.social We don't ban people from running the software they want to use and we don't spread misinformation about closed source software or otherwise. Not clear what you mean by libre compatible but an OS which doesn't support using the software you want to use doesn't sound like freedom. The whole point of sandboxed Google Play is that Google Play can be optionally installed as regular sandboxed apps with no special access at all. It already does work that way.

In the specified comment GrapheneOS explicitly stated that they have no opposition against non-free binaries and proprietary programs. Doesn’t Free software requires it to not host non free binaries? This is not even firmware

    You can install and run non-free applications (like games or the nvidia driver) on Linux distributions. Does that make Linux non-free?

    I would argue that restricting an OS to run exclusively FOSS code robs the user of the first guarantee of free software: “the freedom to use the program for any purpose”.
