I have no opinion and am just seeking clarification as an admin who occasionally gets complaints that I’m unsure how to address.

Thanks!

Edit to add an example edge case: DuckDuckGo is proprietary, but is anyone going to argue against its promotion? Isn’t Proton Mail similarly only FOSS on the client side?

How about we also avoid "source available" software as well

Can you define "source available"? I'm not sure if I understand the term.

Source code is a available but the license is unclear or doesn't allow for the user to run, study, modify and distribute the source code.
