Any idea why that isn't in F-Droid?
I'm not sure, that's a question for the Dev.
Some of the reason may be the hastle of rebranding, having two Openboards would be confusing so the fork would need to change names and icons and such. Some of it is also be this is for personal use, and we happen to find it, so they may not be interested in the expectation of maintaining it beyond their own useage. Some of it may be this is good enough, Openboard's release cycle is pretty slow so the fork doesn't need to be updated and released often, so an APK on Github downloaded twice a year is good enohgh for them.
