Is it appropriate for someone to be a mod here when they don't understand open source, and insult users in the community? (programming.dev)

I'd understand if they were a random user, but a mod should already have at least some understanding about a community's topic.

But worse to me are their comments in that post calling the people responding "childish trolls in this community". I do not think that this is appropriate for a moderator.

Why wouldn't it be opensource. It's right there in the name: the source is open.

You not being able to freely redistribute it means it a restrictive license, but it's opensource. I can look at it, get inspired by the solution, and write another one or a similar one and put another license on it. And if I don't care about the license, it can just be copied and redistributed 🤷
