If you don’t understand transitive dependencies and how they carry through into either the classpath of your app or how they get merged into the manifest that you declare as your own app’s, then you’re going to have to learn these lessons the hard way.
Aren’t you supposed to check your merged manifest before publishing? To catch things like this?
It’s all great assuming apps or libraries behave the way you think they ought to behave but as a developer the responsibility is on you to check what you’re publishing.
Looks like users on that thread are calling bullshit on Graphene for claiming GPL violations.
I’m not sure why they don’t just sue Google if they feel so strongly they’re in the right. Crowd fund the legal cost if they need to there will be plenty of their users willing to give them some money to stick it to Google. Use their Motorola money if they want. They expect a win and agreement in court so it’s a no brainer.
Yeah go for it
