Fossify Gallery on the official F-Droid repo

The removal isn't directly related to the buyout/fork. Simple Gallery was taken off of F-Droid due to a dependency on the nonfree Google VR being discovered by IzzySoft¹ ². Fossify's fork has removed the dependent features to be compliant³.

The whole Simple apps suite should be removed because they are never going to get another update again in the F-Droid repository.

Simple Calendar Pro got an update in October, that's not too far back

Edit: Just saw the news of the purchase was from Dec.
