+title: Replicant 4.0 SDK release
+---
+It was brought to our attention that the Android SDK is now being released
+under an overall proprietary software license. In the past, we already had to
+release a free software SDK, back in Replicant 2.2 times, because the Android
+SDK was shipping with the non-free Google APIs. More recent SDK updates made
+these APIs only plug-ins that weren’t shipped with the SDK and it was made
+clear that these components were non-free while all the license files we could
+find on the Android SDK package were free software licenses.
+
+However now Google decided to put an overall non-free license for the SDK,
+which brings back the need of having a fully free Replicant SDK. Since our
+only SDK release is getting old (it was API level 8), we built an SDK package
+from Replicant 4.0 sources, that is API level 15.
+
+You can download the SDK from the [ReplicantSDK][1] page, find an
+[installation and usage guide][2] as well as the [build instructions][3] on
+the wiki.
