Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.
adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit
(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)
It's not open source…but the source is open.
Not the same
Yeah but their sentence is correct:
The project is not open source (in terms of FOSS) but the source is open.
The whole license stuff is complicated enough, why are we using confusing technical terms?
Open source should be open source and free and modifyable source should be sth else
The source is literally not "open". It doesn't make sense to say that without referring to open source.
Saying the source is available to see, that makes sense though.
There have always been multiple definitions of "open source". That's why it's always best to specify. If you mean FOSS, say FOSS. Don't use an ambiguous term like "open source".
Open source is not an ambiguous term. FOSS stands for "free and open source software" - how could that be more clear than the term with the very clear, established definition by the OSI?
It's okay if you didn't know.
Then everyone should stop using "open source" or there's going to be arguments over what counts as open source every single time.
Well luckily there's no arguments necessary, as we have the definition by the OSI. I actually rarely see any discussion about that, and when I do it's mostly ill-informed comment sections.
Oh I agree completely. Open means it’s open to access, modification, and redistribution. Not closed to two of those three.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. But as you can tell from this whole thread, it's not going well. LOL.
No, you're telling people they're wrong and it is open source. Not to use other, more precise terms. I hate to have to explain your own argument to you, but you seem to not know what you're saying.
that's called source-available
Exactly
