Are you talking about Daniel Frey's android app?

I can't speak for him and I don't pretend to understand why he's
chosen the methods he's using, but this is the nature of free
software.  Each developer can choose a license he or she feels is
appropriate and distribute the work as widely or narrowly as desired.
Personally, I think free software works best with a release early,
release often, release widely model, but not everyone agrees with me.
If you don't want to apply to be a tester, just ignore it and move on
to something else.  That one app is not the only method for accessing
MythTV content from an Android device.  Have you tried Mobile Myth?

Eric
