@isthereanydeal therefore it's not open source. See for something to be called "open source" it needs a bit more than just for the code to be readable. The only people who define open source as source readable are the people who don't want to create open source software.

There's a clear difference between open source and free open source software. It is open source but the licence is not "free". Not entirely at least

@isthereanydeal Nope. That distinction only appeared when big companies kinda became afraid of open source software, so they wanted to redefine the term, create some confusion, corrupt it..

You may have a point but there's a difference anyway
