    There’s a clear difference between open source and free open source software. It is open source but the licence is not “free”. Not entirely at least

      @isthereanydeal Nope. That distinction only appeared when big companies kinda became afraid of open source software, so they wanted to redefine the term, create some confusion, corrupt it…

          @heyoni I’m commenting from mastodon, I don’t even see any upvotes. Someone just started downvoting me because they ran out of arguments 🤷‍♂️

            That must be why. On lemmy, like reddit you automatically upvote your own comments. Yours was at 0 probably cause mastodon doesn’t do that.
