A correction: UE is not open source. It's source is accessible, but does not qualify either as open source, or free software.
- grzm 10y agoGiven a sibling comment states that UR is open source (while not free software), could you explain your take on it? Just looking for clarification—not assuming you're mistaken.

- anilgulecha 10y agoCorrect, open source has a strict definition in the tech community (and OSI), and UE does not meet it.
- eriknstr 10y agoThe OSI has their definition but that doesn't make it the one true definition.
- phaemon 10y agoSince they invented the term, I think it pretty much does. It's nice that "open source" is now so commonplace that people think it's a natural term to use, but if you think about it, it really isn't (something like "source available" would be more normal).
