+# What about Android's APKs?
+- No License field in the Manifest:
+ https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro
+- The APK (which is a zip file )also ends up as-is in the build system
+ => We're unsure if it can be used for building system components
+ as having them wrapped in a zip file might prevent using it for system
+ libs.
+- No wrapping of the build system
+=> Because of all the issues above f-droid has a package definition
+ (which has a License field) and also wraps the application build system.
