- 2Gkashmiri 5y agoSOURCE OPEN. sigh
- Chris2048 5y agoWhat does this mean?
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agosource open is different from "open source". look but don't touch
- TuringTest 5y agoThis is released under MIT license, though. That's open source.
- patmorgan23 5y agoThis will probably have developer community around it. Given that any one that builds on the platform will be invested in maintaining it and the users will be somewhat technical and the businesses that adopt it will probably put some staff time towards it.
- coldtea 5y agoThat's probably for the better. It has the benefits of the open source (you can inspect, and modify the code, exists forever, etc), without the downsides (design by commitee - sorry, community -, endless bikeshedding, code churn for the sake of it).
