Android auto for OsmAnd is a paid feature either through subscription or one-time purchase. Has anyone tried it and do you think its worth it?

As I understand it, the paid version is not free and open source. For example, it includes a weather plugin which is non-free.
I cannot find any resources other than: OsmAnd is GPLv2, the API is MIT. I cannot find anything about the plugins, but that would only mean that the plugins are a mix of open and closed source, though the app itself is still open source.
standing to their documentation they have an exception to the GPLv2 for the Google Play app to be able (my guess here) to better process payments and such.
So to my admittedly poor understanding:
OsmAnd -> open source
OsmAnd on Google Play -> closed source but compiled from the FOSS code
Plugins -> YMMV depending on the plugin
Yet because OsmAnd and it's API itself are FOSS I would argue that this is still the right community for the OP question. :)
