I work in a company that deals with both commercial and government (military) software. The government is becoming more and more fixated on the software supply chain, or sw dependencies so to speak.

Existing dependencies are largely getting a pass for now, but with each new one I need to give a justification for. This includes the license of that software. I can't use GPL at work.

Sounds like it's possible, but maybe with a backup phone. Unfortunately I do have some apps that I need to be able to run which only support iOS and android
