Today FUTO released an application called Grayjay for Android-based mobile phones. Louis Rossmann introduced the application in a video (YouTube link). Grayjay as an application is very promising, but there is one point I take issue with: Grayjay is not an Open Source application. In the video Louis explains his reason behind the custom license, and while I do agree with his reason, I strong disagree with his method. In this post I will explain what Open Source means, how Grayjay does not meet the criteria, why this is an issue, and how it can be solved.

    How is this an answer to my question? Multiple people in the thread have shown alternative definition sources

      So you can’t link a single one? That’s what I thought…

          Seems like my super-complicated answer was too hard to digest.

            You didnt give an answer. You asked for other definitions, which the comments are filled with.

            Tbh I kinda thought you didnt even know other people had alternate definitions

        Do you need me to link you to other comments in this thread? Or are you not actually able to answer the question?

        Is this a hard question to answer?
