I doubt that F-Droid would accept their code, also the Adware Toolkits would all need to be also GPL Licensed, otherwise it would be a license violation
I should've been more clear: they don't necessarily do the same thing for squeezing value out of open source users that they do out of Play Store users.
F-Droid makes sure they can build the code themselves, but I don't think they vet everything the code does. And Android permission model doesn't control network use well.

Fdroid already blocked possible updates for the original apps.
