Give me the code ( and preferably a docker image) or it ain’t open source
The majority of open source software doesn’t make sense to be used via a docker image and the definition for open source needs more than just source code access
You may find this pedantic but it really is an important distinction. I’ve had licensed access to source code that was not open source and very restrictive through various jobs in the past (not talking about code I worked on but business agreements that included access to source code for audits and stuff)
Having access to the source code does not necessarily give access to use, share, modify. The two biggest requirements for open source beyond just the actual source code is the ability to modify and redistribute. Source-available software is NOT good enough
100% hate this.
There is a service I use that does this and while I hate it, I can understand why they do it.
I guess if the api was open then it would be hard to block people abusing it to scrape all their data.

It’s easy to understand why they do this
You cant call it open source when you need a goddamn API key from a server to do it, because wheres that api generator algorithm?
If it’s truly open source you can always host it yourself. But if you want the convenience of using someone else server then you will need an API key and pay if you reach a certain usage limit.
Yeah exactly, the assumption is that if they gice you the api key generator, but most with API key requirements dont unfortunately
Had this recently with Facebox. You can’t even get a key anymore so it’s completely useless. I can’t find any alternatives either so I guess I’m just fucked
