Yep...when software advertised as "Open" uses that type licence, it goes straight to the trash.
Normally I'd agree, but it doesn't actually seem to be advertised as open source.
That said, it's still IMO a terrible licence for code, the "share alike" doesn't require sharing source code at all, because it's not designed for code.
Yeah my bad...the title of the post said Open Source when I first saw it and I never clicked on the repo itself
#FloorpDidNothingWrong
I’m curious to hear the philosophical reasons that lead you to feel so strongly about this.
I don't trust people who use misleading language. I'm fine with buying or using closed source or source available software, but don't call it open and don't say your 'F' is for Freedom.
Personally, when I read their blog post, I didn’t feel like I was being lied to. I felt like I was reading the words of a person who has not spent very much time speaking English. I do agree, however, that the language they happened to use is not entirely representative of what they’re doing, but I don’t think it was malicious.
Yeah, I wasn't talking about Floorp in particular. In fact, I read 'Open Source' from the Lemmy post title and attributed that language to Floorp itself.
After checking the project, I agree with what you've said here. Thanks for your thoughts
