Is GrapheneOS fully libre compatible? Wouldn't supporting Google play even sandboxes, although best for security, technically against FOSS?

Is it impossible to have a fully libre solution that can run just like another app that anyone can install?

We don't ban people from running the software they want to use and we don't spread misinformation about closed source software or otherwise.

Not clear what you mean by libre compatible but an OS which doesn't support using the software you want to use doesn't sound like freedom.

The whole point of sandboxed Google Play is that Google Play can be optionally installed as regular sandboxed apps with no special access at all. It already does work that way.

They want you to use an OS which doesn't provide firmware updates and therefore doesn't protect you from serious known vulnerabilities. The firmware is still present when using an OS not updating it. Pretending as if the hardware and firmware isn't closed source by not updating the firmware simply harms users. They're a group known for having nonsensical, inconsistent beliefs and spreading misinformation/spin to promote them. Stop getting info from charlatans.
