    It’s viewable source, the license does not allow modification and distribution of the modifications. The license also reserves the right to be revoked at any time.

    It’s source available, but it is not what most people would consider open source in the common usage.

      Exactly. Beware of the inevitable enshittification down the line. Once they have the market share, they have no reason not to close their source

    where did you find that gitlab link? it isn’t linked from the project website; looking at the website i would assume it isn’t free software.

    edit: oh, i see it isn’t actually free software after all, it is under source ‘source visible’ proprietary license. 🥱
