Re: An official request to distribute FFS binaries on Flathub

That's unfortunate, but thank you for your response, Zenju. I'll make the necessary changes on Flathub. The installer is of course not shown when installing the flatpak, it's similar to installing e.g. rpm/deb packages. I understand it is difficult to make money on an opensource project. But I wonde...
