拥有超过1000万次安装的开源闪卡应用AnkiDroid正面临Google Play下架危机1。Google Play以Open Collective捐赠链接不符合税免资格为由拒绝该应用,尽管Open Collective已持有IRS 501(c)(6)税免资格证明1。在2026年8月6日的邮件中,Google声称捐赠应仅限于"经验证的税免组织(如通过验证的501(c)(3)慈善组织)"1。即便AnkiDroid随后提交了IRS确定信,Google在8月7日仍坚持认为该应用"允许用户向非税免组织捐赠"1。
应用将于2026年9月11日从除印度和俄罗斯外的全球Google Play下架1。为了保持发行资格,AnkiDroid开发团队在8月29日宣布,将在2.24.X版本中移除捐赠链接1。这款主要服务于医学教育和语言学习用户的免费开源应用由此面临资金来源的困境1。
AnkiDroid, a free open-source flashcard application with over 10 million installations commonly used for medical education and language learning, faces removal from Google Play due to a payment policy conflict 1. Google Play has rejected the app's Open Collective donation link, asserting it does not qualify as a tax-exempt organization, despite AnkiDroid submitting IRS 501(c)(6) tax-exempt status documentation 1. The application is scheduled for delisting from Google Play in all regions except India and Russia on September 11, 2026, prompting the development team to remove the donation mechanism to maintain distribution eligibility 1.
The dispute began when Google informed AnkiDroid via email on August 6, 2026, that donation links are restricted to "verified tax-exempt organization (for example, a validated 501(c)(3) charitable organization)" 1. The Open Source Collective, which supports AnkiDroid, holds IRS 501(c)(6) tax-exempt credentials 1. However, even after receiving the IRS determination letter on August 7, Google maintained its position, stating that AnkiDroid "allows users to contribute donations to an organization that is not tax-exempt" 1. By August 29, 2026, the development team announced they had been forced to remove the donation link from version 2.24.X to comply with Play Store distribution requirements 1.
