Can we pretend that... Say... An imaginary friend of mine has never heard of this and wants to know what it is. Purely hypothetical of course.
Fork of simple mobile tools, that was bought recently
There is a collection of open source apps that aim to just do their job with no fancy additions, they were called "Simple mobile tools". They are no longer maintained, this is a fork of them.
They are (hopefully) maintained by the company that bought them. And yes, this is the fork.
Considering what the company does with other apps it buys we actually hope that they don't maintain their apps.
Oh, they'll be "maintained" alright. Just at what cost to the user is what needs to be determined.
