We - open organisations and communities - need to avoid dependencies on listed corporations. They use open communities to launder their reputation (at best) or to co-opt them and shut them down because they're represent a threat to that corporation's profitability. Because of their incentives, they do not act in a benevolent way in the medium to long term. They are not allies, except of temporary convenience, and dependencies on them undermine our credibility & cloud our own values.

Jolla will continue to provide access to the official app store for it for the time being.
