    Their replacement for gboard is another proprietary app. A real FOSS alternative that seems popular is Heliboard, but it requires a proprietary blob for swipe typing (although apparently they are working on replacing that with a free alternative). I'm fond of Unexpected Keyboard.

    It's not a proprietary license, it's on the very permissive end of source available

    Licence used by FUTO Android Keyboard: FUTO Source First 1.1:

    IsItReallyFOSS verdict: "Nope!"

    I looked into this a few days ago re video app Grayjay, a FUTO project under version 1.3 of the FUTO Source First licence.
