Has that ever prevented people from reverse-engineering an app?

[–] kraniax@lemmy.wtf 10 points 11 months ago

no need for that! people can just take an apk and slap ads or malware on top. they do it all the time with fake candy crush apks. So I'm pretty sure they won't care about this license.

I think that in this case it's just a excuse so no one is redistributing the app and they can make money from it.

No, but it gives them the legal avenue to go after malicious clones.
