The learn more button on the Floorp's Flathub links to a license agreement that literally states the following:
The file is 4 months old, so maybe something changed. Someone in the other comment linked a 1-month old Reddit post saying that Floorp is open-source again. But if that's the case, why haven't they updated the license agreement yet?
Technically, isn't this a different thing? Genuinely asking.
There could be a license that forbids use (sort of like the CC no commercial use license) but still allows the code to be reviewed publicly, no?
Some call that “source available” and not open source.
