Uhm. What were the legal considerations?
Anyway, for the future, I can suggest to protect your app under whatever Free Software
license (because every Free Software license includes a strong discharge of liability, see
the GNU General Public License for example) and then just release your app using F-Droid:
https://f-droid.org/
I hope you will solve your legal problems, if they come from the Play Store EULA.

Have fun with software freedom!
