Remaining questions:
- If you tested or use QubesOS, how’s the experience?
- Do you use a non-Linux-based FOSS operating system (like ReactOS)? If so, how’s the experience?
- Any alternatives I missed?
- Any other software categories I missed?
- Any other new additions that I missed?
What does “,liscense that fit with the open-source ecosystem” means? How does it not fit? Why?
Once again, but why?
Liscensing is very important. It’s like a policy for the developer to obey. Liscenses that fit with the OSS spirit: MIT, any GPL liscense, Apache. They need the developer to compky that their apps’ code should be easily modifiable, be public, and not allow unneccessary trackers when on F-Droid or Flathub. Also, raw Firefox isn’t open-source because it doesn’t have an open-source liscense
Nothing of that is blocked by FUTO license. Also Grayjay is on flathub.
I heard the modifying the source code is blocked
Once again, who blocks what? And why you heard about it, not read? it is freely available, https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md What part of this license does not allow modification? Or what part of text makes this project not being open source in your eyes?
I know, what license is, but I do not know why you do not consider FUTO license to not be open source? what is “OSS spirit”?
I heard that the liscense FUTO uses doesn’t fit into the OSS spirit (OSS stands for “open-source software”)
You heard? Did you even read the text of their license?
By which metric? By whom? Why?
I know the meaning. What I am asking is what the heck is “OSS spirit”. And what makes one open source project to have “spirit” and other to not have said spirit?
Just look at their products at “isitreallyfoss.com”
Why should I base my opinion on someone’s else opinion from some website?
Also, why do people trust security audits? Why do you trust the people who made the software for you? Why do you trust others?
I do not trust them
\(ツ)/It’s not about opinions. Also, here’s a screenshot from RedReader
Yes, you can not use it in commercially, and can not remove their payment stuff + attribution. You can share, modify, change, distribute it otherwise. What part of this not makes it open source?
The word “spirit” can be used in many other contexts. Seems like you don’t know basic internet speech more than degoogling terms
No, I specifically asking what “OSS spirit” means. What makes open source project to have “OSS spirit”? What it specifically means, so I can understand what you mean by something having “OSS spirit”.
No but seriously, I can’t explain it because it’s self-explanatory-only
How it self explanatory? okay, provide then examples of what you consider “OSS spirited” and what is not “OSS spirited”, maybe I will understand it this way, if it “I can’t explain”, please
Seems like you really don’t know about basic internet language lol
