F-Droid can't build - non-FOSS compile time dependency firebase-appdistribution-gradle

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Since we started to scan classpaths too: ERROR: Found usual suspect 'firebase' at build.gradle -> https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/blob/v1.4.34/build.gradle#L27

Removing that and https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/blob/v1.4.34/vector/build.gradle#L4 yields this error: https://gitlab.com/TheLastProject/fdroiddata/-/jobs/2952428066#L481

Ref: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/11633/

Where’s the source of that plugin? https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.firebase/firebase-appdistribution-gradle/3.0.3

If this https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/blob/master/firebase-appdistribution/firebase-appdistribution.gradle#L60 then that’s a non-FOSS dep, right?
