I'm a simple man -- I see an open source Flutter app, I upvote it.
Thanks for publishing this, I always appreciate seeing examples of full-fledged Flutter apps for reference! The app looks really well built and intuitive to use.
- rapnie 7y agoIt is not technically open source, but 'source provided' until there is an OSS license provided.
- evv 7y agoTrue it may not technically be open source, but certain rights are granted because the author published on GitHub, according to the ToS: > If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking). You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub Users. https://help.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-terms-of-service#d-user-generated-content https://help.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-terms-o...
- TylerE 7y agoThat doesn't grant any meaningful rights at all. Notably, it doesn't given any right to download or use the code.
- chalst 7y agoI think it does allow download, although it is a little unclear; from the previous sentence: > By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control). If I clone a Github repo to my local machine this is 'making my own copy in a repository I control'. But this clause doesn't grant any further right, e.g., to compile code in the repo. This isn't an unheard-of situation: e.g., Knuth allows distribution of the TeX source to the TeXbook but not compiling the source with a TeX engine.
- TylerE 7y agoIt later clarifies with "through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking)." That seems to deny any local rights.
- rapnie 7y agoUpdate: Unfortunately the code is entirely proprietary as per the hackathon submission guidelines: "The NUS Office of Student Affairs will entirely own the right of your solutions and will implement the solutions as they deem fit to benefit Hack For Good 2020's partner non-profit organizations." As a result the github project is now archived.
