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.

  • 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.

      If the license doesn’t meet the OSD, then it isn’t open-source, but just source-available. You are welcome.

      It was. I pointed out, that FTL is a proprietary license. Because: «Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code» © OSI

      • 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.

        • Yeah I don’t agree with the osd being the only approach to being open source.

          Well, it isn’t the only one. FSF also has requirements for free-software licenses and FTL doesn’t meet them.

          I was answering that statement: «does not appear to hide the code behind any proprietary shielding», 'cause it does.

    • 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.
