PSA: For folks looking for a swipe enabled keyboard on GrapheneOS without using Google's gboard, try Heliboard - https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.keyboard/ . It's 100% FOSS, but can also use the binary blob from google's gesture typing library "swypelibs" to provide swipe typing. Since helium can't access the internet, I am okay with that.
Do they support the ClearFlow layout?

I use GBoard without internet permission.

Some people will suffer some inconvenience for something that they think is worth it and some people will do everything to no do anything because it is too much trouble. Sometimes they are the same people but in regards to different areas. For example I would never grow my own carrots. What for? I can buy them. And my wife would never built self hosted media server. Why spend 5k$ on PC when you can just buy Netflix?…
I have troubles discerning how this answer connects to my post. Are you putting me in the third kind of people?
But I see I already was down voted. So yeah...

>You may distribute the software or any part of its source code only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes. Semantic arguments over what "FOSS" means aside, for most people, calling it "not FOSS" probably makes them more confused than if you just said "it's FOSS", even if the latter might not be technically correct.
It's not just a technicality. FUTO not being FOSS means that the community cannot fork and maintain the keyboard in case of a rug pull. In addition, not being FOSS means that FUTO is not on fdroid, and requires a payment on other stores.
But they can? It literally says anyone can do it as long as it's non-commercial.
>not being FOSS means that FUTO [...] requires a payment on other stores.
What are you talking about? It's free on google play.

Commercial use doesn't only mean payment. If you modify FUTO, you can't use it at work for example.
In addition, FUTO License says this -
"Notwithstanding the above, you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others. You may not alter, remove, or obscure any licensing, copyright, or other notices of the Licensor in the software. Any use of the Licensor’s trademarks is subject to applicable law."
> It's free on google play.
You are right. I had confused it with the donation link.
