This first one has a QR code linking to its source: https://github.com/niilopoutanen/rss-feed

Unless I missed it, the second doesn't claim to be open source. In any case this appears to be its source: https://github.com/maco2ou/finefeed

The first link is for read me file with no source code avaliable.

The second link is a code last updated is 2 years back, the app is still updated in the app store with no source code.

Also inside the app it says that it's GPL , with different link.

The code for the first is there, its just on other branches, they seem to have a very unusual way of using git.

That is pretty unusual, I removed it from the post to reflect this.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.en.html

the page details what one can do if they find license violations

although based on other comments in this thread it seems that the source code is available in a somewhat odd manner

For the first one, you need to change the branch, the source code is there, on either main or develop.
