Is the problem just F-Droid or the whole database? I'm using Droid-ify.

You will simply not be able to install anything, unless the FOSS dev is cool with providing their ID to Google, and agrees to its ToS, and Google likes the app and signs it.

Which many devs (myself included) will definitely NOT be.
