  • I cannot find any resources other than: OsmAnd is GPLv2, the API is MIT. I cannot find anything about the plugins, but that would only mean that the plugins are a mix of open and closed source, though the app itself is still open source.

    standing to their documentation they have an exception to the GPLv2 for the Google Play app to be able (my guess here) to better process payments and such.

    So to my admittedly poor understanding:

    OsmAnd -> open source
    OsmAnd on Google Play -> closed source but compiled from the FOSS code
    Plugins -> YMMV depending on the plugin

    Yet because OsmAnd and it’s API itself are FOSS I would argue that this is still the right community for the OP question. :)
