I really wish was a Free Software and not a proprietary one!
proprietary / (prəˈpraɪɪtərɪ, -trɪ) / adjective
- of, relating to, or belonging to property or proprietors
- privately owned and controlled
It's not proprietary. It's non-commercial and opensource.
No. It's not Open source at all!
From Open source definition: "The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research."
Source: https://opensource.org/osd
That's the opensource definition by one single entity. They don't own the word, nor does everybody need to take their word as gospel. The OSI are like the church and their priests. They preach a static, never-changing, world that they believe in that doesn't line up with the real world, where opensource is taken advantage of by multi-billion and trillion dollar companies who host competing services without or minimally contributing back.
Just the fact that you can see the source code does NOT mean it is free software. This project is licensed under the anti-capitalist software license, which is not a free software license.
The Anti-Capitalist Software License is a nonfree license because it extends the four freedoms only to some kinds of organizations, not to all.
I see. Thanks for explaining, and for the FSF link.
By free software you mean the FSF or OSI definition. Many people won't care, and some of us actively are against corporate leech on free software, which this license helps with.
Does it though? As far as I know, there hasn't been a legal dispute over this license before in a court. It probably wouldn't even hold up in court with its oddly specific cases and vague wording.
