Well, given that there are like 10 different criteria to meet it very obviously is not black and white.
You can view dgraph's source. You can modify and contribute to it. You can fork it, change it, etc. You just can't make it your own product that you sell.
It is open source in many, many ways, and probably the general, colloquial way. Whining endlessly because they don't want other people to sell it, and to maintain some semblance of ownership, is what's ridiculous.
- eropple 8y agoYou can't accept money to talk to somebody about the open-source project. The Commons Clause literally says this! Does the level of bullshit that implies not resonate? Even if there weren't a nigh-universally accepted definition of open source software that precludes it--and it does--in what universe does that suggest openness?
- staticassertion 8y agoThe code is open. You can modify the code. You can fork the code. You can do everything you'd normally do with the code. You can not sell the code, or services that are directly based on the code. Sounds pretty open and reasonable. But we'll just have to disagree I think.
