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.

    Source available is not proprietary, I’m sorry, but that’s a core disagreement here.

    By the way, if you want to be pedantic about it, what you’re talking about is FLOSS

      So the rest of my comment is irrelevant to you? What a weird conversation
