- dublinben 10y agoBut Plex itself is not.
- Fnoord 10y agoIndeed, Plex is not. Emby and Kodi are. IIRC the reason Kodi (back when it was called XBMC) switched to GPLv2 is because they got forked by Plex who didn't give back. I wasn't able to find a source on this though.
- jannes 10y agoOnly the Plex Home Theater was based on Kodi, but it has been discontinued. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plex_(software)#Plex_Home_Theater_.28discontinued.29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plex_(software)#Plex_Home_Thea... Plex apps are 100% closed source as far as I understand.
