It's on F-Droid if you load their repo. Also it's open source but I understand some people don't like their license.

It’s on F-Droid if you load their repo.

It is not allowed in F-Droid's official repos because it is not open source; anyone can run their own F-Droid repo and distribute proprietary software from it.

Also it’s open source but I understand some people don’t like their license.

It is not open source; that is a term with an internationally recognized definition. Even FUTO themselves now acknowledge it is not.

I think they mean it's technically not a 'FOSS' app, but instead a 'source-available' app.

There license strips you of your freedoms. It is not free (libre) or open source. You can fork it but there are arbitrary restrictions that take away your rights.
