h1. F-Droid

Replicant includes "F-Droid":https://f-droid.org/, the market application that provides free software. The "F-Droid Privileged Extension":https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension/blob/master/README.md is shipped as well and enables background updates.

h2. F-Droid and the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG)

F-Droid includes apps with "anti-features":https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroid-website/blob/master/_docs/Build_Metadata_Reference.md#AntiFeatures that are not compatible with the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines. These apps are available alongside apps that are compatible and they are only marked with these anti-features. See #1629 for development efforts and further information on this topic. 

Not all anti-features violate the GNU FSDG. The ones that do are explained below. We do not recommend the installation and usage of apps that have these anti-features.
