It's the "Google Play Services" that will obligate the developers to identify with their national ID and pay a fee. Many developers already announced they will stop updating their FOSS apps, and others have warned that their app might stop working because they do not agree to Google's terms.

So, if Google Play Services is sandboxed or not installed on your device, you're device is safe from Google's mayhem.

Heyooo I missed my own pun :)

I'll take a laugh wherever I can when everything sucks this hard.
