It's been more than one year that Replicant is aware that
shipping F-Droid as-is is not compliant with the Free System
Distrbution Guidelines(FSDG)[1].
This is beacause we hoped to resolve the issue upstream in
a timely manner, but that didn't happen.
As we now focus on a longer term solution[2], it doesn't make
any sense to keep F-Droid as-is in Replicant.
That new approach would enable to have an extremely low
maintenance cost for both F-Droid and Replicant if it
is merged upstream.
It would also enable users and developers of other
Android distributions to use it.

* Lots of stuff in the wild actually uses wget, and Toybox doesn't
provide it. We already have Curl which does the same thing just
with some different arguments. This wrapper script can handle it.
