I am very new to linux and all the open source stuff (my first post on lemmy actually) so I don't get how this stuff works but flathub is saying that floorp is proprietary. But after a quick google search it says that floorp is open source licensed under MPL 2.0

Technically, isn't this a different thing? Genuinely asking.

There could be a license that forbids use (sort of like the CC no commercial use license) but still allows the code to be reviewed publicly, no?

Some call that “source available” and not open source.
