I have installed Davx5 from F-Droid, from IzzyOnDroid Repo. Today I have checked for updates with the Google playstore and the App was updated to the playstore variant. I thought this isn't possible? What's going on here?

This makes sense. Yes, I have paid in the playstore for this app (and I would do it again and again). But if I understand it correctly this would also mean, I could download their v4.3.8-ose from the official GitHub repo for free, and it would be updated automatically from Playstore to v4.3.8-gplay version (which is not free). Strange.

But this app is worth every penny.
