Can something be open source and proprietary?
- kmeisthax 5y agoSome people use the word "proprietary" to mean "different" or "nonstandard" rather than "is someone else's property and costs money to use". It's a weird bit of semantic drift.
- nisegami 5y agoIn the software world, this is usually described as "source-available", where the source is, well, available, but the license has restrictions such as not allowing commercial use.
