FUTO just launched their privacy focused keyboard app. I know there have been quite a few posts about keyboard recommendations, so this might be worth checking out if you’re not happy with your current one.

      This license while not the most permitting does not appear to hide the code behind any proprietary shielding though.

          Ah. Of course. Something being open source doesn’t make it open source. It all makes sense now thank you for clarifying.

          That also wasn’t technically a response to my comment, it was an ideological defense mechanism to avoid addressing the content of the license.

              Yeah I don’t agree with the osd being the only approach to being open source. Turns out people have differing opinions on that. You’re welcome.

              It wasn’t a response to my comment because you didn’t respond to my comment. You said is proprietary. I point out that it’s not a terrible license. Then you resort to a sound bite non response.

              You could have pointed out for example that ftl 3.2 and 4.1 are pretty shitty limitations to impose.

            May you explain how it is OSS when the license Section 2.1 doesn’t grant me the right to modify the code?

            You still shouldn’t dismiss these sorts of licenses as “free software” has done an alright job for user freedoms but not getting developers compensated for their efforts—which is why licenses like these pop up sharing the source code, but not letting their work be exploited.

      Huh, thanks for the heads up. Section 4 makes it look like they can close-source whenever they want.

      I’m just glad FUTO is still letting Immich use the AGPL instead of this, though.

      It is open source. But they supposedly keep some rights (they say for some time) so people dont produce fake versions of their software like has happened with newpipe (newpipe versions on google play store bundled with malware). I dont like a license like this but I think I want to trust Louis Rossman. He looks like someone who is truly commited tto his mission.

        You sure? Section 2.1 miss an important keyword: modify. If I can’t modify and distribute my modified version, it can hardly call OSS.
