I’ve heard of piped due to the piped-link bot, but I am curious about others.

      Friendly reminder that Grayjay is only source-available.

      FUTO Temporary License (FTL) violates the following open-source principles:

      • Open source licenses must allow free redistribution. FTL allows license suspension and termination at any time, without notice, for any or no reason.
      • Open source licenses must allow source code distribution. FTL allows restrictions to access the code at any time, without notice, for any or no reason.
      • Open source licenses must allow modifications. FTL allows modifications only for non-commercial use, or maybe not even that. FTL dodges the word modifications here, no clue.
      • Open source licenses must explicitly allow distribution of software built from modified source code. FTL forbids distribution of software built from modified source code for commercial use.
      • Open source licenses must not discriminate against persons/groups and fields of endeavor. FTL allows license suspension and termination at any time, without notice, for any or no reason.

      The FTL enables the following practices:

      • Copyright holders can change the license terms.
      • Copyright holders can re-license everything.
      • Copyright holders can target specific groups and individuals with discriminatory license terms.
      • Copyright holders can close source everything.
      • Copyright holders can forbid specific groups and individuals from using their work.

      My main gripe here is that the video sells a source-available software with severe usage restrictions as open-source. These restrictions may sound reasonable to people outside of the open-source world, especially to people who use similar wording in their own terms of service, but nobody would touch your software with a ten foot pole with a software license like that.

        I almost switched to iPhone, thankfully this came out to show me why that is a bad idea. I just need to de-gpogle.

          Wait, why would this one app currently only being available on Android make switching a bad idea? Seems like a weird thing to base a decision that big on…
