Yeah right

I have Osmand+ and it works fine. One very easy way to improve the performance is to download the maps you need ahead of time.
Start by downloading your metro area and I can guarantee that positioning and navigation will be instantaneous. Unless your phone is to blame. FYI I am using a Google Nexus 7a. Very happy with Osmand+.
OK, I agree it could be something more malicious, and that the safest solution is always to bin something unknown.
My position is that the op knows the USB device and suspects it has been compromised by connecting it to a windows machine. But the content may be worth salvaging. In that case, my advice still applies.
Quick answer: no.
Longer answer: if a USB key is inserted but not mounted (as you mentioned) the system does not interact with it in any way, except to log that something has been inserted, so there is no way Linux will be infected.
Longer longer answer: if you insert a USB key, then mount it (for instance read only) the system will no interact or execute anything on the key unless you specifically start a program that is on the key. So it will not be infected either.
Since most viruses and malware are for Windows, you can therefore mount a USB key and start an antivirus program to clean your malware without risking the integrity of your system.
If it’s several python modules, then yes, choose a license and then contact pypi and see if you can distribute your modules through them.
One very important thing is that you have to make sure everything is ready for distribution: check your project will work (possibly starting with a blank VM), what its dependencies are, that the requirements.txt file is good and operational, that automated tests are available for people to run after installing, etc.
In other words, the ideal project is not just a question of license but also all the scaffoldings you supply with it.
Thanks for opening your code!
