You say here it’s open source, but your licenses read me says it’s ffnc use?
I published the app under the GPL-3 license, and with a clear statement that says "It's not allowed to publish, distribute the app, or use it in a commercial way". They neither respected the license nor the other conditions.
You can't add a GPL-3 license in your repo (which explicitly allows modification, distribution, commercial use) and then also write "not for commercial distribution" in the README. Pick one. Even then, it can be argued that a national government publishing an app for free is not commercial use.
Correct. Next time, the author should just use a strict non-commercial creative commons license with attribution like: CC-NC-A where commercial use is forbidden and the author must be attributed but can also allow remixes or changes.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm not concerned about commercial use here. It's about publishing the app without complying with the GPL-3 conditions. It'd be fine had they respected the license and attributed the project.

And then what? All this back and forth about license types is farcical. Is he going to sue Saudi Arabia? In what court? It’s a monarchy that tortured and executes people with impunity for personal and political reasons with the support at the highest levels of our government. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Jamal_Khash...
And under it lists "the Saudi health council" and "national council for health information".
So my understanding is that they're claiming copyright on this app?
