Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”.

Project will remain AGPL and thus can be forked at any time. FUTO maintains the trademark of Immich name and logos.

So with the android app, they said they would charge for that. But I guess the .apk would be on Github but you’d pay if you installed it from the app store?
