On my end it's not showing on F-Droid, yet.

And their site doesn't show a thing because it's currently under construction

That's the gallery. I can't find the file manager in the official repo yet, but it is available in the izzysoft repo.

That's like, almost 100% identical to the Simple File Manager from Tibor Kaputa, why make a new one?

Simple File Manager (and the other associated apps) got bought by a company, so this is a fork by a long-time maintainer that keeps it FOSS

So are they going to repackage those apps and sell on the playstore? What's the purpose of buying open source apps? Or it's just to limit open source competition?

I think it's all speculation so far, but I've heard the company is an analytics one, so it's likely to try to sell user data

Its not, its a fork of the simple mobile tools suite that just got bought by an advertising company. This new maintainer forked the codebase of all the apps and is maintaining the foss version from here on out so we're not stuck with ads and malware injected into the apps we use.
