Check out FUTO.org's keyboard, best gboard alternative I've ever used.
The Aurora store is also a nice front end replacement for Play Store if you go the sandboxed Google services route.
Also, F-Droid Basic is out, which is just a newer F-Droid.
For an excellent Pixel launcher alternative, check out Lawnchair 14's Beta 2, or nightly from their github.
The license is not great and idk how it's better than HeliBoard for example. Wouldn't recommend in the FOSS world tbh.
This is true for Foss purist... I don't think any privacy enjoyer cares though
A privacy enjoyer isn't going to be concerned about licenses!? What? That's like... The entire thing?
The privacy concern is whether the source code is viewable, which it is in this case, not whether the application is free.
