What makes it not Foss? The source code is available and you can build it yourself if you want to
That doesn't make if foss though. That doesn't make it either Free or Open Source.
Care to explain? Because that's literally the definition of open source
Nope. Its not the definition of open source. Its the defenition of "source availiable"
Real open source defenition : https://opensource.org/osd
Real Free Software defenition : https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html
Have a good read. If you want tl;dr, here is it
Open source is a developement methodology in which software is licensed with the permission for everyone to collaborate and develop it. Anyone has the freedom to modify and contribute to it.
Free software is a matter of freedom. It refers to the 4 essential freedoms a software should have, that is freedom to use, modify, share copies and share modified copies for the community however you want without restriction.
FOSS is software that fits both theese defenitions. While practically almost all free software are open source and almost all open source software are free software, but there are few exeptions
Thanks for the info!
Their licence is a joke.
Thanks for linking that, that's unfortunate
