Source First License 1.1: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

This is a non-open source license. They were claiming to be open source at one point, but they've listened to the community and stopped claiming they were open source. They are not trying to be Open Source™.

They call themselves "source first". https://sourcefirst.com/

They're trying to create a world where developers can make money from writing source first software, where the big tech oligarchy can't just suck them dry.

I am using Futo Keyboard. Downloaded it when it was marketed as open source. Unfortunately found out a few days ago it isn't actually open source. It's still a damn good keyboard, but it's still unfortunate. AGPL exists for a reason. Oh well.
