    That appears to be because Session uses Firebase as a dependency.

    Per F-Droid's definition of "the upstream source code is not entirely free":

    https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/#UpstreamNonFree

    This seems to be a case of "damned if you do; damned if you don't". Session relies on Firebase to get faster notifications from Google servers. This can be disabled in the applications preferences but changes the behavior from push-notifications to polling Session's decentralized messaging network, which makes messages notifications slower.

    https://getsession.org/faq#push-notifications

    For the sake of clarity it would be nice if instead of making such a vague pronouncement, F-Droid would specify precisely what about the upstream source code is not entirely free.

    Searching on the project's Github project, there's an issue about this "The upstream source code is not entirely Free" on F-Droid meaning ?. I doubt you'll find a better answer than that.
