Charge FFA Play store deployment

Disclaimer: I am super annoyed by Googles practices at the moment and might not be neutral.

However, I think for the effort maintaining the distribution of Funkwhale for Android via Play Store, we should charge people. The disadvantage is that we would need to give a share of 30% to Google, but at least we can get some money by distributing the app there.

What do you think?

@gcrk I'm in favour of this, as are NLNET from my conversations with them. As long as we make it very clear to people that they can get it for free from F-Droid and really promote it, I think it's fair to charge a small fee on Google Play.

Sporiff What is small fee in your eyes? I don't think we are allowed to promote F-Droid on Google Play, but we can do everywhere else.

gcrk To my mind, a small fee is anywhere between USD $0.99 and $2.49. And yes, we can't promote it in Google Play, I'm just talking about on our socials and website.

I also agree, we could also don't publish funkwhale in the playstore if we don't want to spend time with google from my pov
