### License
It's released under GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (see [LICENCE](https://github.com/Diaspora-for-Android/diaspora-android/blob/master/LICENSE.md)).
### WebApp
The app is developed as an WebApp because currently Diaspora doesn't have an API that can be used to create a native interface to retrieve the user's data, publications, direct messages and so on, that's why there are only WebApps for Diaspora out there.
[Stay tuned on Diaspora* Issues](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/labels/api) about API.
Why a WebApp is better than using the mobile site on a browser?
Basically it provides better integration with the system (events coming into and going out of the app), notifications, customized interface and functions and a nice little icon that takes you directly to your favorite social network :)
### Device Requirements
The minimum version supported is Jelly Bean, Android v4.2.0 / API 17
### App Permissions
It requires access to the Internet and to external storage to be able to upload photos when creating a new post and for taking screenshots.
