I wrote to the store’s support, hopefully they’ll take it down. upd. they answered: > On Thursday, March 12, 2026 22:17 MSK, RuStore [support@rustore.ru](mailto:support@rustore.ru) wrote: > > Hello! > > Please specify, are you the owner of this license?

> [@pidrilaebanaja](#): > > hopefully they’ll take it down There is no legal reason to take it down. All that the dev must to is to publish the source code. I say that if they are working on pushing a secure messenger that works, then let them cook.

And say that the source code is under the GPLv3. 🙂 Calling someone a worm is an insult in English, same as calling someone _червь_ (I think this insult is more common in Russian?). But “worm” is not usually an adjective. “Gay” is an adjective; using it as a noun is widely considered offensive. But I think you just mistyped!
