    Welp, the message you’ve cross-posted was since edited to include

    Edit: They claim they will make that part open source too, eventually, and it is due to behavior of another browser: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp-core/issues/62

      It appears they just did, as of a few minutes ago while I was looking into it

      Here is the now open private components repo under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license
      And I forked it just to be sure

      Can somebody elaborate on this? How could somebody stealing their code be a problem?

        Not sure about this particular case as the author didn’t elaborate, but sometimes suckers sell binaries. Also, they’ve mentioned assets that may be non-commercial or require naming the original author which some forks may choose to ignore.

        Anyways, I personally don’t use floorp, so you better ask their devs or community.
