Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

It is not free software but it is open source. Stop gatekeeping the term. I can look at the code and modify it to my hearts content. I can also watch as the project is being developed. That means it's open source. It would be free software if you where also allowed to redistribute it but I can fully see why they do not want that

i guess you didn't click the link in my comment? here is another, with a list of governments and other entities who all agree about the definition: https://opensource.org/authority/

Oh so what you're trying to say is that, because the license they chose is not on this list, it's not open source. Stupid take IMO but you do you

It isn't about the list of approved licenses, it's about the criteria for being added to the list. New licenses regularly meet the definition. This license clearly does not.

so what Edward Snowden developed a closed source license

oh cool, if Edward Snowden did it I guess software freedom isn't important anymore 🙄

But seriously, did he? which one? I'm not familiar with that.

But even if he did release something under one, I would be extremely surprised if he called a non-free license "open source" as FUTO is doing here.
