Is it actually open source now?

Source avaliable. they want to change the license tho

[–] JoeyJoeJoeJr@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

According to the license, it is better than source available. You can modify and redistribute, you just can't sell it. Other than that caveat, as far as I can tell, your rights are basically the same as with other open source licenses. (Feel free to correct me if I've missed something.)

Section 4 is what gets me. Your rights are temporary and revokable meaning the the rest of the license doesn't matter in the long term

## Section 4: Termination, suspension and variation
1. We may suspend, terminate or vary the terms of this license and any access to the code at any time, without notice, for any reason or no reason, in respect of any licensee, group of licensees or all licensees including as may be applicable any sub-licensees.

Yeah, that just leaves the door open for enshittification. "Trust me bro" vibes. This license needs a better Ulysses pact.

~~I also don't believe it's even fully source availiable. There are no build instructions, and you can't clone all the submodules without signing in to their closed application gitlab instance. If anyone has sucessfully built it from source, please lmk.~~

Nevermind they did add build instructions since I last checked. Still lmk if anyone's tested them.
