    Louis Rossmann can go to fuck himself and his source available app that he keeps calling open source.

    Newpipe existed long before Grayjay and will probably be there when grayjay dies since Newpipe’s license allows community forks. If the Newpipe team ceases development, others will take their place. If Rossmann ceases development, his app is left for dead

      Users telling developers to fuck themselves is a irony lost in these threads. How many open source projects do you maintain?

      Source available is open source by definition. Get mad at other things, but that is absolutely a fair description

        by definition?

        the Free Software Foundation, the ones that started the whole idea of sharing code as a philosophy of software, do not consider source available as free software or “open source”.

        It does not meet Eric S Raymond’s definition, the one who invented the term “open source”.

        It does not meet the Open Source Initiative definition either.

        Even Wikipedia gives the right definition of open source:

        They grant the recipient the rights to use the software, examine the source code, modify it, and distribute the modifications.

        So stop defending Rossmann and admit that the app is not open source.
