As I didn't see any license mentioned I just wonder if you'll adopt the MIT license from the linked project for the Android app as well?

Maybe. Do you have any suggestions?

Apart from the above you mean? Not direct recommendation, but if you're still looking I can recommend you this list and the candidates there which are approved by OSI/FSF.

I'll probably go with MIT or GPLv3, as I always do.

Thanks! Please give me a ping here once the license is up 😃

Do you have anything particular in mind? I mean, do you want to contribute to the app, or maybe just use it? (or parts of it)

I thought of adding it to my repo to make it easier to access for folks not having access to PlayStore. My repo is the largest 3rd party F-Droid repo with about 1k apps currently and widely used. But as with F-Droid's own repo, apps must be FOSS and have a license declared to enter it.

That's my way of contributing, not being an Android dev. While doing so I'd also set up metadata for apps using Fastlane structures, which I then gladly offer via a PR so the app authors get in control of how their apps are presented – and as a side-effect solve one piece helpful to have them enter F-Droid's own repo if they want to.
